    No load noises. Just steady loss of pedal, gear shifts started getting harder then one stop sign it just would go into gear and the pedal was to the floor and wouldn't come back.

    Ok so the 4 gear issue was resolved by adjusting the shifter linkage per the instructions lol duh. I bleed the clutch and boom we had a driving car! Took it for a run and heard a pop and then I couldn't get over 55 mph. Turns out someone had the clip on the turbo flipped and it didn't engage...

    Well new problem. Went to take her out for the first drive and Im only getting 4 gears will moving the shifter when the engine is off and when its on it won't go in any gear lol I'd assume there's some sort of adjustment i messed up with the shifter linkage. Anyone have an idea off hand?

    Ok that makes sense. This car was in front end collision at some point so maybe they just used whatever. Thank you. I was starting to tear everything back apart lol.
