I mated the transmission to the engine and installed the starter and wiring today. For giggles I tried to pull on the clutch release arm but could not get it to budge after contacting the pressure plate.
Dumb question, is there anything to do but push the transmission and engine together and tighten up the 4 or 5 nuts/bolts? I'm wondering about that clutch, should I be able to depress those springs on that pressure plate by hand? The whole thing kinda when together alot easier than I imagined, did I miss something?

If you can not move the arm back and forth at all, that is concerning. There should be some play before the throwout bearing hits the pressure plate fingers. If no play, then you have a bearing hitting the plate too soon and it will not completely release. A common cause of this is the pivot ball being spaced too far. I would part it and take a look and maybe some pics.
