98 GST Wheels Locked.

[RLSchwabe]

1998 GS-T 130k Miles
Recently replaced clutch master and slave. Fully bled system. Checked the linkage and nothing appears broken or tweaked.

Symptoms:

Gear selector from 3rd to 4th and vice versa there's no pressure/tension

Gear selector moves into other gears w/ almost average tension

Will not roll in neutral. Seems to be stuck in gear

Will not roll with clutch pressed in

When letting the clutch out in all gears will not move

When letting the clutch out in neutral the car bogs/dies

When letting the clutch out while applying gas the car dies and does not move a millimeter

Car had to be drug up the flatbed w/ some soap.

And the strangest of all: When the front end is jacked up.. the front wheels move freely. When lowering back to the ground will not move at all.

Thoughts?

Also would anyone have any suggestions for moving the car backward about 7 feet to be fully IN my garage? The tow truck drive did the best he could to slide it off into the garage. Thanks guys.

Have you checked the release lever, its bearing and boot? if those are ok, try checking the clutch, plate and flywheel, too.

When off ground, does the opposite front wheel turn in opposite direction when you turn this front wheel? If so, tranny is locked up (no output shaft turning) but diff is allowing wheels to turn opposite ways like open diffs do. When you say "Gear selector from 3rd to 4th and vice versa there's no pressure/tension" suggests the 3-4 shifter fork may be broken so it's left permanently in either 3rd or 4th. And if it's also stuck in another gear for some reason, that would lock it up permanently.

Can't you just put a floor jack under front to get it off the ground and push it back?

I don't know how to check the release lever, bearing and boot. I can do some research on here and try to check that off the list. I don't know how to check the clutch/plate/flywheel either. Would I need to drop the tranny in order to check?

Also, not sure if the wheels turn in opposite directions. I'll be going home today and I'll jack it up and check what its doing. I tried putting a floor jack under it and rolling it, but the surface just outside my garage is that really rough asphalt so it makes moving the car pretty difficult. I was thinking about buying a wheel dolly but I don't have deep pockets. It would be a large investment just to move the darn thing 6-7 ft. I was thinking about building a couple dollies but still running it through my head.

Thank you for taking the time to reply guys. I really appreciate it. I'll see about checking those things you suggested and I'll post back with results.
