i just put in my tranny and hooked up my shifter assembly and all, i tried to put it in gear and it wouldn't go in gear it just felt like it was hitting rubber or something. i looked underneath and the rod going into the tranny don't move at all whats going on?

Is this a never used by you/ new to you transmission?

Bad shift fork possibly? Has it been sitting for a while - maybe it froze up?

My initial guess is there's something wrong with the transmission internally.

yea i bought it used and it could be just froze up, so would i just fill it with the right amount of fluid and start it up to loosen the gears up maybe.

No. I meant that the linkage or shift rod was frozen up due to excess corrosion. If there's problems with the gears internally, gear oil isn't going to fix things.

Before you installed the trans, did you try and turn the input shaft by hand? Was there any gear oil in the transmission when you got it?

take it back and get your money back.

ya im going to return it now thanks
