hopefully they put all the bolts in. i was checking out my freinds brothers dsm once and the shop he had put in his clutch decided to leave a few of the bolts out that attach the transmission to the engine- to be exact they only put 1 bolt in! pretty much destroyed his new clutch he couldn't figure out why the thing wouldn't go into gear.

Just try leaving it stopped once, push the clutch pedal in and hold it in the whole time. Now while your doing this try to put it in 3rd well say, normaly it will hesitate that split second then go in, if you pull it back to neutral, and try to hit 3rd again, it should go in like instantly, cause the tranny should not have turned at all, and the gears should still line up. If this is not the case, then it is your clutch that is causeing problems (most likely).
