I recently installed a 91 turbo fwd transmission in my 90 fwd turbo laser. After the swap the car would go in gear just fine. A couple days later i went to drive it an would push in the clutch and try to get it in to gear and i can't. I would try to force it in an it would grind an not go in. So i got under the car with a flash light and had my gf press the clutch pedal down. The throw out bearing does apply to the pressure plate. So my question is what else can be causing the clutch to not engage and allow me to get it in gear? Clutch master and slave are new. The throw out bearing is also new. Brackets, cables, and shifter were also swapped to 91 so i know its not them. It will go in all gears while car is off I'm stumped so any information will help thank you!
 
I just watched that video an tomorrow mourning i will go an adjust it like he described an post my results. I'm thinking that can very well be my problem. Thank you for the good information!

Update! This mourning i adjusted my master cylinder as stated in the video an still nothing. But when i start the car in gear then shut it off an turn it back on it will engage an lat me in all gears. Once i shut it off again an turn it back on nothing it wont engage or let me in any gears. What could this possibly be? Any help is highly appreciated.
