I recently swapped in an ej22e into my ej18 impreza and with that I replaced the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, pilot bearing, and throwout bearing. Initially with the car on I could not get it into gear but I could with the car off. I ended up starting the car with the clutch pedal depressed and after that I was able to get into gear but there was a grinding noise when disengaging the clutch (Video). Now today I drove the car up and down my driveway and could hear the grinding getting louder as I released the clutch pedal and revved up the car to get it moving. After this, I started the car once again and now as I push in the clutch pedal, there is no grinding noise anymore but with the clutch engaged (pedal released or pushed up until the clutch engages) there is a faint rubbing noise that goes away when the clutch pedal is pushed in all the way (clutch disengaged),
I posted this on reddit as well so if you want some more information its here.
I do not want to pull the transmission until I have tried everything first so if you have any advise please let me know.

Is the clutch cable super slack?

Is the clutch cable super slack?

No I adjusted it and it has only a couple mm of slack

Will it roll in gear with the clutch in?

Will it roll in gear with the clutch in?

Yes and it was making a faint grinding noise with the clutch in that went away and now just faint rubbing with the clutch out.

It may be because Im on mobile, but I cant hear any difference between the clutch in and out.

its hard to hear the noise it kinda sounds like throw out bearing to me but its pretty blended in the video

Agreed couldn't really tell in the video sorry. Thought I heard release bearing noise also when letting off the pedal.
