Thanks for taking the time for anyone who does.
I’ll cut to the chase. I have a 2003 mustang gt with the 5-speed manual. I just recently replaced my throw out bearing which seemed to go just fine. After the job it drove fine for one whole day, then it became hard to get into gear. Long story short I pretty much can not get it into gear at all now. It feels like I’m trying to force it in without even pushing the clutch in. I changed the transimission fluid because I leaked some in the process of doing the TOB, didn’t fix it. So then I installed a new BBK clutch cable and quadrant because I figured the cable just wasn’t fully engaging the clutch. Neither of those fixed the problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My guess
Clutch disk swelled or delaminated?
Throwout bearing failed?

What about a bad pilot bearing? Did you replace it? Also what is the condition of the transmission input shaft where it goes into the pilot bearing? Straight and smooth?
