[scotty0607]

I have my manual tranny from my ford aspire laying on a table all in one piece now, I just replaced the input shaft bearing and then i tried to putting it into gear by hand and it will not budge???? What do I do?? the shaft spins so do the axles...Im freaking out and dont know what else to do! This is my first time i messed with a tranny.

You must have one of the shift shafts in a bind. They are very hard to get into gear on the bench.

I have rebuilt a few of these transmissions and what I believe is the issue is that you have the internal forks out of position. Unfortunately, you will hae to split the case open again to correct it.
