Default just swap a zc motor, clutch won't engage

after finishing my swap i turn on the motor and let it warm up for about 20 min. i then decided to take it out for a spin. put it into first gear let go of the clutch, nothing happens. it seem like i was still in nuetral. tried all the gears ended up with the same results. i can actually move from gear 1,2,3,4, and 5 without using the clutch. i don't know what is wrong with it. i've already bleed the clutch line. so if anyone can help out please do. i am still very new to these stuff. thanks

bled the clutch line? what the hell. zc's are cable i dont know what you bled but you better get some fluid in there. also try adjusting your clutch cable. does the clutch feel normal? did you hook it up?

i'm thinking the same thing too..how do you bled a cable tranny? lol..do what he say and check the clutch cable and see if you have titen it...this is probably a stupid question but did you even installed te clutch? or the clutch fork? or is the clutch new or at least still close to new?..

If u look at his SN, it appears he has a CX (which explains this bleeding of the clutch line). ZC's also came in EG's (obd-1) so they did come with a hydro tranny. A friend of mine has the swap in his EG. CX guy just posted in the wrong forum.
