I picked up a k20 eg hatch yesterday for next to nothing, the guy said he was tired of messing with it. The car cranks and starts up fine. but will not move when shifting. The clutch fork moves back and forth properly and when the car is off the you can hear it shifting in all the gears. I'm just curious if it is something to do with the cables, or my clutch is shot. Any insight would be great.

 

You should try this question at k20a.org

 

Sounds like a clutch problem

 

You should keep in mind that honda engineered the K series to rotate in the opposite direction compared to all other motors they've ever made. The K series features conventional rotation.

 

try putting it in gear then starting it and see if it moves.
