Default help... 5spd 92 es300... wont shift into gear

so yeah i swap my es300 to a manual... but i just faced the biggest problem ever... it wont shift into gear when the car is started but when its not it will shift into gear...

heres the steps i did to figure out what could be wrong...

1. put the car in 1st, drop down the e-brake, fully press the clutch and had someone push the car forward.
and the car didn't roll. so okay... its went into gear?

2. tried bleeding the slave...over and over and over... and got the slave to push the fork about 1/2 and inch... i heard it should be 1inch but doesn't seem to be working for me.

3. check the lenght of my push rod on my master to the clutch pedal.. seems to be fine.

4. had someone fully press the clutch and looked at the slave and it is pushing the fork.

5. check my control cables ( aka shifter cables ) and all is well.

6. was thinking about the hydralic lines..but dont' thiink its faulty cuz its moving the slave.

7. after all that i started the car and fully press the clutch and tried shifting gear... it wouldn't shift... and i tried putting it to reverse and it wont go in all the way and grind alittle bit *OUCH!!!!*

8. then i started the car in 1st gear... with the clutch fully pressed... right after i start the car it died out a second later...so i'm thinking to myself *wtf?*


right when that happen... i was think could it be my hydralic line and master cyl?.. because even with my foot fully press on the clutch the car died out afterwards?... hmmm


and if its not all the above... i know its going to be alot of money...


things that could be wrong besides what i did above.

1. shifting key spring
2. shifting key
3 synchronizer ring

4. if any of those 3 i'm DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



anyone have any input about this?

well all is well... i figure out the problem... it was the master cyl... push rod... unfortunately it wasn't as far as i thought it would be... i had to shave off some metal from my clutch pedal...then went on and put the push rod to the end as much as possible. the first thing that came to mind... holy mollie! ... . car is running now!

all is well.!
