Default no engagement/what did i do wrong

I reinstalled a perfectly good transmission and clutch i had just taken off my other motor for my new motor. dropped everything in and bled the clutch but i let the clutch out while in gear and nothing, going into gears feels a lot notchier than before. transmission was filled back up with mtf and some syncromesh like before.

did i somehow put the clutch disc on backwards maybe?

possibly the throw out bearing got off track or something from sliding transmission back on too rough.

anyone have this type of problem or any thoughts?

i have done tons of swaps and builds and never had this happen....perfect timing too right before i was going to get tuned this weekend.

thanks

checked clutch and it was on right, in neutral if i rev the motor the mph goes up. push clutch in and this doesnt happen. gears all go in fine and feel smooth now. anyone think having the clutch and master/slave cyclinder sitting for several months would cause failure in the slave or master cyclinders? im stumped here, the clutch worked fine a few months ago and looked fine when i transeferred it over to the other block.

im going to go buy a new slave cyclinder tomorrow and see if thats it, re bleed system and hope for the best. im going to shoot myself if i have to get a new clutch after just removing the tranny and inspecting everything then re installing.

no engagement still though argghhgh

Bleed it until you want to shoot yourself.

soooooo......i bought a new slave and master cylinder and had my wife pump the clutch so i could bleed it until she wouldnt talk to me anymore lol. so i try again and no go. so i get out while i have the motor on and i hear rattling near the transmission area which scared the **** out of me considering i bought a brand new type r tranny about 2 years ago; turns out the f==king axel popped out on the passenger side and is rattling. i checked the part number ncv21508 by csp and its supposed to be the right axel for an integra?? im not sure it really ever went in from the get go, i just bought it. i tryed to get it back in with all my force but it wont go all the way in at all. wtf the last axel i got didnt do this from advance auto??? anyone else have an issue like this? i have a 95 civic b18c1, type r transmission. maybe the c clip on the end is f==ked up, its a brand new axel; im going to take it back and get a different brand next week.

i literally want to shoot myself anyway...i have a business trip all week so i cant work on it until i get back which is next sunday night.

someone please help!

Pull the axle out and check the c-clip. Look inside the diff for any visible damage or debris.
