Need help figuring out why no crank or start

Hi I am new here and this is my first post I recently replaced my flywheel clutch pressure plate starter starter cylinoid and master and slave cylinders now the truck won’t start and when I try a screwdriver on the cylinoid it just sparks and smokes any advise welcomed please and t.y.i.a.
also when I try to push start it there is a funny grinding noise coming from the general area of the clutch

what year and motor? I guessing the clutch isnt disengageing? what happens when in neutral? you could pull the starter and check it to make sure its not the problem. then see if you can turn the motor a little to see if its free. if you push the truck and the clutch doesnt disengage I would think something is wrong with the pressure plate or slave cylinder.

I figured out that issue there was something that dropped in transmission while I was changing the clutch and the slave wasn’t bled right so now that I got that figured out I am having an issue where it is like it is flooding itself two minutes after starting and it misses like crazy. Could this be a fuel problem or a time issue?

check here on the forum how to get codes and read for OBD1, you dont need a reader. after it has run pull a plug or 2 , check to see how they look. wet or dry
