so i recently did my clutch and it worked fine. then the other night i was driving around and all of a sudden i had no gears. the shifter moves freely. but there is no clutch smell and the pedal feels normal i just cant get any gears. does anyone have any idea???

Check the shifter cables at both the shifter and the transmission.

Also, there is a mounting bracket about 14" away from where the cables connect into the transmission. There is a plastic, spring-loaded lock nut that holds the cable in place. You need to make sure that the cables are positioned correctly inside that bracket. I lost 5th and reverse because one cable had come loose and popped out of the mounting bracket.

they are working though because i moved them and i can watch the cables move when someone is moving the shifter inside

I do be belivin' that the mouse is probably right

but i have already checked the cables. i can move the actual connector thats on top of the tranny up and down and around and still got no gears

interesting. i had the exact same thing happen, and i reached down in on the back of my transmission, and found that the plastic cup on the end of the cable had come off the ball. i snapped it back on and it was fine.

Out of courisity, how are you testing this? If that is the case, then I would say its an interal transmission problem.

so i found out what it was. on the top of the tranny the actual shift shaft had to come off. when i took it off found out that the cold rolled pin that holds the assembly together to move the gears broke. so i had to replace the pin and now everything works fine again.
