Yeah and its not engaging at all
last night it engaged into reverse and I backed
it into the yard and it stoped engaging
today we relized someone drained the tranny fluid by mistake so we tryed that and it still didnt engage but we think something might have went
wrong with the throttle bearing arm when we put the tranny in one of us was holding it but released it when it was on idk if that affected the the wire part hooked to the little ball joint that slides into the wire snap on part hooked to the arm so were thinking about taking it back apart
and pulling out the tranny to fix it?

Check the clutch bearing release lever and slave cylinder to see if the slave cylinder push rod is fully or almost fully extended. That would indicate the clutch bearing has been dislodged.

Remove the slave cylinder and the clutch bearing lever dust cover and use a torch light to look into the bell housing to see fi the bearing has been dislodged.

If yes, you would heve to drop the trans again to reseat the bearing.

Take note never to touch or hold the lever while lining up and installing the transmission.
