I bought a 08 focus of CL for 1000 with 24k. they told me that you need a new transmission, so i got one but the same thing is happening, when the car is off all the gears work normally but when, the car is on you cant put in any gear. Unless you push it and it grinds like crazy and still wont go in, help plz need the car for college...[???][!][???][!][???][!][???][!]

I put in the trans. The clutch works fine when the motor is off, in goes in all the gears, but when you start the motor it doesnt want to shift.

How would i check that, that might be it, I also found in the trunk there was the old clutch and a bunch of new pars too. I replaced the master cylinder (it was in trunk) for the clutch and still the same. Cloud in be that the person before me instilled the disk for the clutch backwards???

Could it be that the person before me put the clutch in the wrong way or the pressure plate isn't working right?

Ok so when i put it in gear the car doesnt want to roll when i push, and the pedal is soft at the begging, but once you get about half way it get hard after bleeding it, but when i let it sit for about half hour the pedal becomes softer at the end.
