Hey guys, after doing my auto ka to manual ka swap, my transmission will not engage any gears. when the car is running, I can put it in any gear, but when the car is off, it can move between gears.
When I put it into gear and then start the car, the wheels will spin and move the car, but it will not allow me to shift.
Searching through the post, I found that it may be a clutch hydraulic fluid problem. I've bled my clutch, and the clutch now springs back normally and there seems to be no air in the line, but the problem is still unsolved.
There are 2 issues that I am concern with. One is the fact that I mounted the flywheel and clutch myself. Although I did use a torque wrench and tried my best to get it to specs, can a improperly mounted clutch + flywheel cause this problem? ie. I am thinking maybe I did not mount my flywheel perfectly flush?2nd: I broke off the last sensor on the transmission harness, the one nearest to the engine, and have not yet reconnected it. Reading through the fsm, I have not yet found out what this sensor does. Is there any possibility that this sensor is keeping my transmission from engaging the gears?
If it helps, that plug has a blue middle, and is 3 wires.
thanks for the help,
david
Transmission Not engaging gears
Your clutch is obviously not disengaging.
If you've properly bled your clutch, then adjust the clutch pedal per the FSM's instructions. Pay particular attention to the threaded rod going to the master cylinder, as this is probably your problem.
Same thing happened to me... except my clutch friction surface delaminated off the disc and wedged the clutch to the flywheel. Of course, this can't be your problem if you haven't driven it.

pull apart my transmission?
ok, while checking out the car today, I found that the clutch pedal does not do anythign for my car. If I shove it into first gear or reverse, and start the car, the car begins to move. The wierd thing is, when the clutch pedal is fully depress, IT STILL MOVES! That means the clutch is not disengaging at all. What am I suppose to do now? Replace the slave? Will that help pull the clutch out?

I told you that about 5-6 posts ago...
Anyway, have someone look underneath the car to see if the slave cylinder is moving when you press down the clutch. If it is, then obviously it is an internal problem with the transmission. You'll need to pull it.
Did you use a clutch alignment tool when you bolted down the pressure plate?

the slave is moving in and out. Yes, I did use a clutch alignment tool to install the clutch. The transmission was fine before the swap, cant really see how it was damaged. Basically, I just unbolted the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate from the old engine, and bolted it to the new, and then bolted the transmission back up.
I was wondering, the slave moves in and out, pushing the fork I guess back and forth. The thing is, the fork is wrapped with a plastic boot, but when the piston is fully out, it seems as if the metal piece it is pushing on can still be pushed like 10 mm farther. I dont know if it suppose to stop where it is, or go farther.
umm..another wierd this is, the car does not stall when the gear is engaged and the car is not moving.

I'd definitely say there is something internal that is wrong. How did the clutch fork pivot look? It's the thing the fork pivots on, sometimes they break.
So you're saying you can put it into 1st, and let the clutch out and it doesn't stall?
Definitely think it's time to drop the transmission and check it out.
