There's the input shaft goes from the transmission to the friction disc. It should not care in what position it was installed as long as it went on smooth all the way down to the pilot bearing.

Can take off the shifter again, and try and see if something fell down onto the gears, though pretty limited in what you can see looking in, and be ever mindful of that roll pin that just wants to jump in.

Shouldn't have used any gasket, it's all just bolts holding a bellhousing and bolts holding a transmission, no fluids to leak externally. But if you have to remove the 4 bolts holding the trans to the bellhousing, jack the trans a bit and down a bit, and it will separate, roll straight back, use a pry bar if you need to and roll it out on the jack so you don't mess up the new clutch.

I would just make sure that the clutch works, crank it over, and yank the s××t out of it to get it to move to neutral.. Maybe light touch the clutch to make the gears move, like when you hit a flat spot in reverse.

 

Edit: delete / I thought this clutch had exploded > another post ¶: sorry

 

That shifter just unscrews, I'm not sure what you used the make a gasket on but it basically doesn't have a gasket, it has a rubber grommet I think, but they deteriorate and it just vents there which is normal.

Unscrew the shifter and use a screwdriver to move the trans to neutral, then stab it. Otherwise it'll get behind the slot and be jammed

 

Oh, makes sense, puts gasket on the big round nut and now it's stuck.

DOC is right, that thing is put on dry. But if it's really on there.. What I use to remove it is a medium large pipe wrench, the red cast iron, sloppy jaw type that self tightens as you turn.

I have several and just one fits perfectly, too small and it can't grip open enough to grip the ball, too large and it whacks the rectangular opening sheet metal. So might have to try a few to find a good one, but a pipe wrench will grip and unscrew that bad boy bettr'n anything.

 

So I got it all put back together take the shifter off find up the gears got it to shift but somewhere down the line by glow plugs some of them AR bad does anyone know of a good way to get it to start I can't afford new ones right now

 

On your passenger side fenderwell behind the battery there is a solenoid, it has a purple wire on it (little push on one) unplug that so your glow plugs won't cycle and give it just a touch of ether, it take VERY little, if it starts up then it's probably the glow plugs

Also these engines need to spin over quite fast in order to actually start. This could be a combination of bad connections, weak batteries, old starter and not be your glow plugs at all

 

Another way is take the lid off the Air Cleaner, remove the Filter.
Shove a Heat Gun into the Air Cleaner assembly. Turn it on and
wait 5 min then start the engine.

Make sure the wire to the Heat Gun is out of the way of the belts, Fan etc...

I tested the GPS an I have a couple bad at least according to my test light. Still got it to start without ether I converted to manual push button when I first got the truck a couple years ago thanks all for all the advice I'll post a video or something an show how it runs

 

Hey FTE I'm back with more problems don't know what I did wrong but got my truck running after battling through a southern Colorado winter wrenching in an open field about 2 days ago since the first start after installing the new clutch there was a squirrel from what I think is the throwout bearing so any show called certified mechanic said just tried it so I did and last night I was driving and then I could hear a rubbing like sound and different chatters that would come and go. I had to put it in 4 x4 at one point the t-case wasn't engaging it made a loud pop twice when I went to put it in gear and move finally the third time it engaged but I had to shut the truck off to shift the t-case into gear I put it back in two wheel drive and I drove about Lyle and slowly lost power like it wanted to shift to third less than 50 miles per hour and wouldn't go faster than 20 miles per hour no matter what I turn it off and it was stiff and hard to shift when the vehicle is off things I've done-are removed flywheel replace the pilot bearing torque the bolts when reinstalled new clutch kit forgot grinded on the tip slightly when the clutch first went not much at all at least I think . I put a new slave on the push rod was hey little bigger on the tip but it fit in the groove and seem to be working fine that means squirrel from throughout bearing would stop when barely disengaging the clutch it was there mostly but would sometimes be louder and quieter please if anyone knows anything and by steps are much appreciated I'm very discouraged and haven't given up so far so why start now I guess I know it was a good truck and I hope I didn't mess it up
