Default cant shift into gear

Well I just got my motor together and running for the first time. ButI have ran into a snag. I can shift it into any gear when its turned off. But when I start the car I have to force it to get it to go into gear. Even after I get it into gear with the clutch pedal on the floor it stil wants to try to move. its like its not disengaging the clutch. I am running a stock 91 b18a1 with trans. Using a stock disk with a 95 hydro pressure plate. They are all the same. any ideas

Is the clutch cable correctly adjusted? when you pull on the cable is there a large gap between the plastic shoulder on the cable and the bracket on the transmission?

is there enough flud in the transmission?
are you sure its a good trans?
maybe your linkage is bent or not correctly welded?
or did you get a hasport linkage?

it just sounds like a linkage issue to me try and check all your bushings and make sure everything is tight and correct.

If the car wants to move even if you have the clutch pedal fully depressed, the clutch isn't fully disengaging. Its not a linkage issue.
