I have a tko 600 with a spec 3 clutch. The trans was working flawlessly until I removed it to pull the motor. I reinstalled the trans and the clutch and now I can not get the trans in to gear with the motor running. When the motor is not running the trans will go into 1-5 but not reverse. If I put the trans in 1 gear and try to start the car it acts like the clutch is not pressed at all.

I have adjusted the clutch cable and checked to make sure the clutch fork is moving as it should when the clutch pedal it pressed. I am at a loss.

sorry to say man. But its a clutch problem. I know you schecked it, but for some reason your TOB is not pushing against your pressure plate enough to where the clutch disk disengages the flywheel. for schitz and giggles, try this. Adjust your firewalll as tight as you can where the tob is touching the pressure plate with force, then start the car and try to get it in to gear. TRY this so we can narrow it down

I tried with no preload and a tight cable no luck ! Guess I am pulling the trans again. Wonder what I will find ?

no. dont do it just yet man. There has to be a reason for this. Installing a clutch is pretty straight forward, so I dont know that youll find anything. Try calling d and d performance in the morning
