Did you test every gear before you put the transmission into the truck for correct engagement and function?

Clutch:

What did you change on the clutch "hydraulics" ?
Did you break any of the line loose ?
Did you remove a ZF 6 and replace it with another ZF 6 ?
How does the clutch pedal feel when depressed ?
Is there a chance you have air in the clutch hydraulic lines ?

So it moves the truck in neutral? Or is it just spinning because of the internal friction and oil moving things?

Put another way, with the engine off and shifter in neutral, can you turn the ouput shaft? (Assumes no driveshaft)
