I just took the transmission out and installed a new clutch. Buttoned everything up fired up the car and I could not get into reverse but every other gear would move the car. I read some stuff on some old forum posts and people posted lock down the orange mechanisms on the shift cables and center the shifter then pop them back out. Did that, still tough to get into reverse so i pushed it a little harder and got into reverse. Tested it a couple times and now it seems like the clutch isnt grabbing any gears? I put the transmission in gear and rev the engine and the mph go up but the car doesn't move? Can anyone break this down for me? I torqued the clutch per manufacturer spec and made sure the "flywheel side" was on the flywheel. Please help!

Need to check out our axels. I've never seen this so I hope someone else can help you. But getting mph and not moving is very strange and sound like a easy fix to find. But could you clarify the type lvl and brand clutch you installed.

Moved to General Tech Chat.

I like NotReal's comment, if it wasn't going into gear you wouldn't see MPH - that's more likely if an axle (driver's side?) isn't in all the way.

That's happened before, better to pop out in the drive than when moving as I've heard of happening.

Any strange clicking sounds or anything? Is it possible that you installed the clutch disk backwards?

I used a whole Perfection clutch disk set with flywheel. The flywheel and clutch disk is facing the right way for sure I double checked that. I will check the axles today and let you guys know whats going on.

Just had to throw that out there lol. You never know.

The driver side axle wasnt fully seated in the transmission! Good call guys.

Tx for posting the resolution.

Glad it was a simple one after all that work.

Good. It's rare you get an easy whoops fix. Defiantly one to remember.
