Shifter is stuck in gear. Just changed the clutch assembly and added fluid.
The title pretty much explains it. I dropped the trans and installed a new slave cylinder, pressure plate & disk etc. Upon putting the trans back in, I tried to move the stick and realized it was stuck in 2nd gear.
I tried to pull it loose with a screwdriver after removing the stick, and I can't seem to get the gear into neutral. I am pressing the clutch while trying to shift. Also on top of that, I think the battery is dead. HELP!!  What do I need to do to get the gear into neutral?

Re: Shifter is stuck in gear. Just changed the clutch assembly and added fluid.
Unless you've jammed and jerked it until you broke something it should slip right into neutral with a screwdriver. On the dead battery, did you leave the hood up with the little light on for the duration of the trans pull and reinstall?

Re: Shifter is stuck in gear. Just changed the clutch assembly and added fluid.
I got the shifter loose now by shaking the engine a bit and prying on it. But now when I try to go into gear I get a grinding noise. I began to bleed the clutch, but I am having immense trouble. I know you are supposed to bleed it a special way but I don't know how. Also before I ended up jumping it, I tried to push start it, but it was stuck as if the parking brake was down...of course it wasn't.

Re: Shifter is stuck in gear. Just changed the clutch assembly and added fluid.
I've bled it twice and replaced the battery, but it refuses to go into gear whenever it is running. If I start the truck in gear, it will stay in gear but won't shift. If I start it in neutral, I can't put it in gear. It won't seem to disengage.

Re: Shifter is stuck in gear. Just changed the clutch assembly and added fluid.
I had to end up buying a brake bleeder pump. The amount of air trapped in that sucker was shocking to say the least.
