Help, installed NV4500, won't go into gear

[GSX455]

I just had my NV4500 rebuilt and installed it with the bell housing on, put on the slave cylinder, clutch felt a little loose go to put into gear and it will not go into gear

Clutch goes almost to floor before I feel pressure

What could have been misaligned ? I felt the splines go in, and the drive shay would turn, etc

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Sounds like you have a clutch issue but to be sure are you able to put the trans in any gears with the engine off?

Did you bleed the slave cylinder before the install? May be air in the system.

Did you install a new clutch or any other parts while the tranny was out?

Will the clutch build any pressure if you pump the pedal? Did you do anything with the clutch hydraulic system when the tranny was out? If not, there is probably something not right with the clutch parts in the bell housing.

i second the hydraulic issue, also see if it will shift with the xfer case in neutral.

Thanks for the replies.      It would go into gear when the engine was off, but not if it was running.   but it would not start with the clutch depressed when in gear.    OK, I re-installed the clutch housing.  I placed the fork on the pivot ball, and installed the hydraulic slave, see link below, is this okay?  I have the throwout bearing up against the clutch.  This should help me get the fork to stay in place when I re-install the tranny.  Any advice is appreciated, and wish me luck in getting that heavy thing  lined up again.

Remove the slave cylinder before installing the transmission again. This will allow for the fork to stay back to the housing while installing the input shaft. As for your pictures there is a lot of oil around the clutch.

Holy wow ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^should be a DRY housing, that is way too wet to put back together that way, fix the leak before reassembling or you will be doing another clutch very shortly if it is still an active leak, unless it was the slave or trans input that leaked if so take the bell housing off and spray it down real good with some brake cleaner to dry it out a bit..
