So everything is correctly installed. Will a pedal adjustment cause this? Because I adjusted it all the way on the last POS. And now my quadrant is broken. I know its not something big because everything is done right.
Need help.
Thanks.
 
The gears won't go in or the clutch won't go in? Your description is kind of vague. Is this while you are driving or while you are sitting still with the car on/off. If the car is off you should be able to put it in every gear, and if you can't do that, then either if you have a short throw shifter your shift stops are set too tight, or if you don't have a short throw something is seriously messed up in the trans.

If its your clutch, and you can't push your clutch pedal down, sounds like a kink in the clutch cable. I had that happen to me and I thought my whole transmission was f'd. If you have a kinked cable, then an adjustable cable and clutch quadrant/adjuster can help.

The gear go in fine with the car off, Kinda hard for reverse.
When the car is on it feels like the clutch is not full disengaging when the pedal is pushed. Look under the dash and the quadrant is broken and can't hold a position. So I am wondering if this will cause the problem to not disengaged the clutch.

Never mind it is the pedal adjustment :facepalm: need to buy a new quadrant.
 
That was kind of a dumb question :lol of course a broken quadrant will cause all kinds of issues!

^ :lol well after two days of hard labor. I just wanted to know if it was something as small as an adjustment. I needed reassurance. I was ready to drive this car off a cliff.
Lol happens to all of us. the little things find a way of snapping and then pissing us off to no ends haha glad you got it figured out. Just an fyi, you will need some sort of adjustability with the cable. If you plan on using the stock cable/firewall mount, then you will need an adjustable quadrant (fine tune, not a double or triple hook one that some people buy) so you will need one like stock. If you decide to get the billet quadrant, then you will need a firewall adjuster.

It looked like it was going into gear but forcefully, maybe? What happens when you release the clutch in gear? All the "goings on" happens at the cable/clutch fork connection outside of da pressure plate.
-Are your shift stops setting bolts set correctly to let you fully shift? You can back them all out or remove them.
I don't know the answer but I want to help and I want to know the results. Update when you got it all good!

Thanks bro for trying to help.
Bolts are all loosen to get the stick full motion.
More info.
Drove the car a little bit
started the car tried to put the car in first, Car started moving forward with clutch disengaged.
Then started the car in first and let off the clutch and the started moving forward. I have to forcefully get it in second. Which is bad. Then I decided to floor it in first gear and slipped really bad.

Just an update. The mechanic said I did a good job on installing. He dropped the trans and replaced the brand new FR pilot and out in a new one. :( He said that wasn't the problem. So he checked again and its the PP not disengaging all the way. Everything is adjusted and its still not going into gear. He states that the PP is defective.
