So here's the story of project 88. What was supposed to have been my saving grace and a ride that i built with my two hands has turned into a personal hell. I have had this truck since 2012 i was still a teen when i was working on it. Was going to school for automotive tech and this truck was my first experience with a full engine rebuild and manual transmission. I got it just because it was a manual. So i pulled the engine rebuilt it cause the block was ridged so badly it couldn't be reused after the truck had sat for 7 years before the owner let me have it for a dollar. So rebuilt the engine and its amazing but i replaced all of the clutch components twice over and still have no gears when at idle. I can't get it to go in any but it starts in gear and if pushed and started up it will run in gear but the clutch pedal is useless and before anyone says bleed it, I've bled this thing until it has no air in the system what so ever. So the clutch i put the inner bearing in with the seal facing the outside of the flywheel then placed the disc with the springs towards the pressure plate and the pressure plate was torqued down to the specs of the haynes manual. This truck also had a problem before it stopped running of being locked in 4wd low. Would the automatic transfercase have anything to do with the transmission not going into gear? I find this extremely unlikely but I've tried everything else so I'm out of options at this point hoping someone has some insight to my problem. Thanks.
