Default Transmission Issues

Took engine out last year, and just put back in this spring everything seemed to go back together O.K. However now I can NOt get it to shift into 3rd gear , Shifts great into 1st, 2nd 4th, and reverse. New clutch seems to be engaging fine have No problems shifting into any of the other gears. Before I took out engine last year I was able to shift into all gears. What did I do wrong???? !!!

hmm. Maybe it has something to do with the clutch linkage and tranny linkage are all those okay. Nice and tight. Pilot bearings can be an issue sometimes. Is your clutch properly aligned in there with the tool they usually send you in the kit.

Sounds like a linkage adjustment problem on the transmission. what year model do you have?
