Default T-5 issues....i need help

OK, so I have a t-5 hooked up to a gen 1 350 and its always had a little trouble disengaging all the way. Im guessing because the clutch is worn or it could also be that im using a slave for an lt1 and it doesnt push out far enough to release the clutch completely.

Either way, I was driving it around today and the damn thing got stuck in neutral. It will go into any gear if I force it really hard but it is damn near imposible to move anymore. What could have caused this?

If it's going into gear while the engine off, but is requiring force when the engine is on, your clutch release not working fully. You need to do the bleed procedure for the LT1 hydraulics as step 1.

There are multiple TO brgs for the T5 bellhousing w/ hyd. or mech. fork (I assume you have an 84-92 bell.) The height could be incorrect.

Is the fork clip spring in good condition and inside the TO brg. groove, not outside?

Which pedals are you using?
