So about a month ago I did a third gear pull getting onto the highway and when I went to shift into fourth the peddle was extremely hard to push and it wouldn't go into gear. I ended up having to have it towed since it wouldn't go into any gear. I figured the trans had finally given up since it had a grind going into fourth before. So I had it rebuilt by a reputable shop and now that I have it back in the pedal is still hard to push although not as bad as before and it still won't go into gear while the car is running. I don't know what else it could be since the clutch looked fine and the clutch cable was replaced about six months ago
Won't go into gear

what did the reputable shop discover during the tranmission rebuild?
what kind of clutch linkage setup do you have? stock? aftermarket? what components?
clutch pedal hard to push has nothing to to with the tranny...
what did the clutch and TOB look like while the tranny was out?

Pretty much everything in the transmission is now new. (The previous owner tried to drag raced the car for cheap.)
Unknown firewall adjuster, unknown quadrant, stock cable, centerforce dfx clutch.
The clutch looked fine other than paint falling off the pressure plate. I put a new throw out bearing in with the transmission.

is it the stock TOB guide tube? is it cracked?
Upgraded billet
Looks like the clutch still dragging...
Sounds like the cable needs adjusted, or the clutch is worn down enough that it won't adjust out far enough to work properly.
I've come to the conclusion that my dfx clutch is done so I have to pull it all apart again to replace it. Ugh!
mine did the exact same thing and it was the throw out bearing retainer it had a crack
My DFX clutch was worn out as far as it could be worn and still acted fine. FYI. I was surprised when I got it out, that it was so bad, cuz was still working well. Going auto, and only reason I yanked it.
