Default needs a big help! ef sedan wont shift at all!

hey, i need a help and my car is ef sedan and i was driving it for awhile n changed brand new clutch n good tranny with no syncros at all or grind like few months ago, around 5 months ago. somehow, my car wont shift at all and i tho it was a low fluid so i added it up.

so it s still the same problem and it wont shift at all when it runs but when it turns off n it shifts freely so i dont even get it.

so i checked the clutch cable line n it seems fine even the pedal set up too.

also i checked the clutch but i didnt took em off n decided to put another tranny in it.

while the car is still on the jack and it shifted alittle harder then i put em down on the floor and it wont shift at all, wtf i dont get it....

is it the clutch or linkage or the tranny or the cable, idk, sighs..please help me out! and the clutch is just brand new, man...

Hard to read this post.

Sounds like you CAN shift when the engine is OFF?
Is that right?

If so, can you put it in first gear and start the engine with the clutch pedal pressed?
Does it try to drive when you start the engine (clutch pedal still pressed down)?

If it lets you drive in first, check your motor mounts and shift linkage.
Last would be pull the tranny off and make sure you don't have the clutch disc installed backwards.

Well, that post changes things a bit.
Maybe a broken clutch pedal.

Maybe time to replace the clutch cable.

Yes you do! Have fun with the ONE NUT FROM HELL.
Actually, I've had decent luck with a full dash in with a elbow joints and small extensions.
Good luck!
