Okay guys please help me, this makes the third time trying to fix my transmission the problem is and I have not changed anything just took the motor out fresh it up, just put a new clutch set in now when I put the transmission back in the car. Everything slides right together no binding or sticking points but here's the thing I can with my hands turn the tail shift while it's in gear and it still spins like it's in neutral??? Like clutch is pressed it? I have no clue what's wrong with it. Any ideas? Please thanks

Engine? Clutch? Source of transmission?

It's a 305 clutch came from advance in at kit. And the transmission is a world class T-5 and all this was in the car when I bought it. Just the clutch is new.

Can't go back and change very much of that now, but...

The transmission is out of ... what?

Count the splines on the clutch gear.

Okay I couldn't stand it any longer so I went out and go under the car and took a flash light out and looked at the clutch fork and I could see the throw out bearing! It's not even on the fork! So I think my clutch fork is wore out. So my thinking is when I install the transmission the clutch fork let's the throw out bearing slid right though the fork and that is making the pressure plate engaged?? So I'm going to order a new clutch fork. What u guys think?

I would hold off on ordering a new clutch fork until you take it all back apart. If the fork was broken so badly the bearing slid through it, you would have noticed it before putting but together. It would take some pretty major breakage to do that.

Also, if the bearing was sliding through the fork, you would have the OPPOSITE problem. So you wouldn't be able to turn the output shaft while in gear. The fork pushes the bearing forward, INTO the pressure plate, so if it slid through a broken fork, it would never disengage the clutch.

I think you need to check 2 things before doing anything else: 1- check the clutch disc is the right diameter hole and spline count as Sofa suggested, and 2- check to make sure the throwout bearing is mounted correctly to the clutch fork.
