Ford Ranger Clutch Problem

Transmission problem
1996 Ford Ranger 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 306000 miles

This question is for my husband. The clutch was slippping and he took out the transmission to change the clutch. He replaced the clutch and slave cylinder and had the flywheel turned. Put it back together and now it won't go in gear. He thought maybe he put it in backwards so he took it back apart and he had put it together right. What could cause the clutch not to go into gear? Is the transmission fried?

CLutch is not engaging or the shifter can not physically be moved into on of the gears?

So what could make a clutch not engage? About the shifter, could the shifter be bad? Sorry I really don't know that much about mechanics. My husband is really frustrated and I am trying to help him out!

Sorry i shoud get all facts before asking questions. Hubbie said clutch is engaging, it is not disengaging. When the truck is off it will shift but not if the truck is on.

An adjustment needs to be made I believe.
