Default t56 wont shift into gears.

I just installed a LS3/t56 in my car and the whole time it was on jack stands it shifted good. went into all gears and reverse. but now its on the ground and it wont go into any gears at all. but when the car is off it i can put it in to gears. what could the problem be?

Sounds like the clutch is still dragging, You're not getting a full disengagement. When the car is off the ground and you put it in gear with the clutch pedal depressed, do the wheels spin?

Sounds like the clutch is stuck to the flywheel, Try putting the car into gear and starting the engine with the E brake on (just in case) should break it free.

Yeah your clutch is definately not disengaging. Did you bleed the hydralics completely? How does the pedal feel?
