You are correct. When we FORCE the trans into gear the car dies. Keep in mind we have to force it as it will not engage normally.

We are planning to pull the motor here soon, just wondering if anyone had similar experiences. Thanks for the input.

The clutch is not releasing for some reason 100% for sure. That's the only way that will happen. Hopefully you see an obvious problem when you get it apart, if not you will have to replace everything or chase your tail for a while. Good luck man!

I have the same issues with my tranny right now.

I hope bleeding the slave cylinder fixes the issue.
