Hey guys, just swapped out my 700R4 for a t-5. Got everything in today and when we cranked it up, the wheels spun a little. After testing, we figured out that when you crank it up, it wont let you go into any gear other than sometimes you can go in 1st. Its like it wont disengage. Try and put it in reverse and it grinds. Now, you can cut the car off and put it in a gear and it'll crank and be in that gear. We think it's either the slave silinoid or the pressure plate. Which the pressure plate bolts up to a one piece rear main and pressure plate, while the tranny was orginally on a two piece main with its own pressure plate. (dont know if it matters) So, any advice would be great. Thanks.

How does the pedal feel? Are you using a new clutch master and slave cylinder? If not, you might have to do what I did and flush the system with fresh brake fluid. My car sat for so long with the previous owner that I believe the fluid collected water and was boiling when the engine got hot. This caused the pedal to get really spongy. But in your case you might just have air in the system. Flush the system and see what happens.
