Default After new B20 swap, tranny seems stuck in neutral

I just dropped a B20 in my eg. I have a GSR tranny with it. Once i put the car together and finally got my shift linkage issues taken car of i got in the car all ready to take off for the first time in MONTHS!! Well i put the car in reverse and nothing. Put it in 1st and nothing. My car doesnt move anywhere!! and even if i let off the clutch completely while in gear, the car doesnt cut off. it just sits there. Anyone know what this issue might be?

ok so the input shaft spins.....


now this inside part of the tranny doesnt spin though...


so if anybody has any other input on how to fix my problem, id greatly appreciate it. I honestly dont kno squat about transmissions but i guess this is one of them harder ways to learn...

If im not mistaken thats your differential and if that doesnt spin you got screw'd on your tranny.

Are you sure this isn't a problem with the linkage?

pull on the tab that the linkage hooks to on the back of the tranz and then spin the shaft if it still doesn't move then your tranz might be going to the good ol' honda tranny graveyard.

Like Ron says could be a problem with linkage not working properly. But when you spin the shaft which I think is the main shaft, the differential teeth should spin to.

If you put the tranny in gear when its out of the car (pull/push on the "stick") and spinning the input shaft doesnt spin the diff, then you got screwed on your tranny.

UPDAAAATE!!!
So i took my tranny to a local well known Honda Mechanic who builds some of the sickest cars iv ever seen...SO..i explained to him what i had going on..so he was like well u got 2 options...1. you buy this gsr tranny i got here, ready to drop in...or 2. you let me open this thang up and take a look inside and fix what i can...OF COURSE i went with 2...so here are the pix of what he found wrong with it...oh and idk what this part is called...

ok so this is the unknown name part...


and here is where the problem is...


and a close up...there's supposed to be some pin of some sort that goes flush thru this hole, and obviously it wasnt...


so 2morow after work i will puttin my tranny back on and God hopefully i'll be out rolling. thanks everyone for the input and advice...i'll keep it updated oh and yes the diff did end up turning when i turned the input shaft after my buddy was done with it...so let keep our finger crossed...

UPDATE!!
so my tranny does work now. But not the only issue im having is the passenger side axle keep popping out when i make like more than 3 turns...i was told to make sure the retainer "ring/pin" is good and im going to need an allignment. since my wheels camber "too much"...is this true? i ordered front camber kit and some full coilovers...

or your axle is too short? I'm not really sure because I don't have a high camber setup. But there should be a ring in the end of the CV, make sure that it is there.

well i had an axle for a gsr w/ ABS...so i thought about it and went and exchanged it for a integra w/o ABS thinking that it might have been the issue...and sure enough it fit snug...felt a lot better than the first axle i tried. and i raised my car up in the front to easy up the camber...i ran the car and made as many turns as possible and held up good...IDK if this will fix my issue but im getting an allignment once my camber kit comes in...

ABS non ABS makes no difference, the only difference is the ABS ring on the outer joint.
