Gears arent messed right. The one way bearing, if the vehicle started should be fine.

When he says they arent meshed right he means the gears cant turn freely.Put a piece of paper in there and set the mesh so that when you pull that piece of paper out it doesn't tear it.

You will need to make sure that your washers are correct in there spacing. Thats the reason the clutch bell doesnt move freely. If you get it to move freely, follow the instructions that zack gave and you should be good to go.

you may have put the one way bearing in the wrong way, there is a one way bearing in the spur gears on 2 speeds, he probably put it in backwards.
