just replaced clutch...problem
so i just replaced the clutch in my 89 V6 pickup 4x4. i started it up, pushed in the clutch and tried to go into gear and it wont go into gear. tryin to force it into gear just burns the clutch. i used the alignment tool and everything was put in right. any ideas on what the problem is?

Clutch disk in backwards? Most have stamped on them "flywheel side" did you see that?
Did fork get knocked off ball stud during transmission installation? Possible release bearing knocked off fork?
Did you open up the hydraulic clutch system? If so, is the air bled out of it and clutch has good resistance?
If the pedal doesn't feel right, pull it back out.

Can you feel the resistance from the pressure plate springs when you depress the pedal? If so then x2 for the clutch disc in backwards, or maybe something wrong with the pressure plate. If no resistance then has to been air in the system of something with the shift fork.

Check the clutch bracket attached to the firewall; push the clutch in while you watch & see if it's cracked & flexing. That's what it sounds like and it NOT uncommon. I hope you didn't unnecessarily replace your clutch when this was the problem.

alright so i pushed in the clutch and watched the bracket. it all looked fine to me. i started it up in gear with the clutch in and it did lunge forward a couple inches. it wont go into any of the gears. i tried putting it into reverse and it just grinded. im gonna take it out of the garage tomorrow and try on it more vigorously. any other ideas?

Have someone watch the slave cylinder while you push the clutch pedal (engine off of course) and make sure that the slave is pushing the release fork. It should move about an inch.

Location: Cincinnati, Ohio - Amelia is the exact place. There is no one else on this site from where I am. Seems like everyone is from Cali or Washington. I guess I need to move.

synchro's? sounds more like in the tranny itself than just the clutch portion.
