Yes Improperly run or improperly capped lines can cause a few problems. As for the transmission. There are several things you want to look at. I would start by measuring the clutch pedal height and free play. If both are in spec stop there. If not adjust the pedal height and free play to spec. After you bring that into spec or if it is already in spec move on on to the clutch master cyl. Inspect it for leaks and that there is fluid in it and the fluid is at the correct level. If that all looks good move onto the slave cylinder and clutch fork. If the clutch fork is very near or after the center line square that surrounds it you may need to remove the clutch fork to shim the ball joint. Check to make sure that your slave cyl when compressed will automatically decompress. If it does not your master cyl is not allowing the self adjusting feature to operate. If all that looks good check the linkage itself for damage. It may have been improperly adjusted or the wrong bracket's were used to install the cables.It could be one of a combination of these things. Or the transmission itself is failing. Good luck and welcome. In the future at least make an attempt to give more detail about your issue and use proper spelling etc etc.
