I'm no mechanic and I'm stuck.

I've got a 1996 2.3L Ford Ranger. I replaced The clutch disk, pressure plate, pilot bearing, and release bearing. I then got the transmission put back into place. Once I attached the shifter knob I noticed that I can't put the transmission into any gear with the engine off. I then attached the slave cylinder and attempted to engage the clutch and shift. Still no avail. If I depress the clutch it is firm and if and look through the dust cover underneath I can see that the bearing is moving about an inch or so.

Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • Can you go through the gears with the engine running?

  • You might need to bleed the slave cylinder.

  • @Moab - How would bleeding the hydraulics make any difference if the transmission won't go into gear without the engine running?

    I figured it out. I had has taken the shifter out while it was in gear. I took a flat head and put the transmission into neutral. Problem shoved. Thanks everyone!
