It's possible that you are shifting the column shifter, but it isn't hooked up to the transmission properly.
I havent tried to put it in gear without the clutch and the lever look hooked up to me i crawled under it to check out the underside and snapped some shots while i was down there the trans was pretty wet could it be empty on fluid?? How do i check and what do i replace it with liek i said im new to working on clutches
