Got the engine running today and slapped on the drive shaft onto my new T5.... next problem in my chain of problems...cant put it in our out of gear with motor running. I think I have the clutch adjusted pretty close. I crawled under and checked out the action while the neighbor pressed the clutch pedal. I could clearly see the pressure plate pull back while the disc loosened - although it did stay close to the flywheel. I could take a screwdriver and move the disc a bit with the clutch in.

Hoping I could work it free, I then proceed to start the truck (in gear) going backwards then frontwards a few times. That allowed me to finally use the clutch to stop the truck (engine stll running). Still no gear changine. Then I proceeded to drive up and down the road in one gear. That process didnt change much...so hear I sit...any ideas

A little background on the install...I dont know if it was necessary but I did extended the splines on the tranny shaft..the disc did move freely on the shaft while off the truck...
