When you say "cannot get the car to go into gear", I assume you mean that
it's grinding when you try?
If so, it sounds like your input shaft is rubbing on the pilot bearing which
means that when you depress the clutch, the input shaft is continuing to
spin and as such, the gears will grind when you try to put into gear.
Did you ensure that you had the two Alignment bolts in the correct holes?
Two of the nine bolts that hold the bell housing to the rear engine plate
are a special diameter (slightly smaller than the rest) and are designed to
ensure that the input shaft is aligned exactly correct with the pilot bush.
I believe that these two bolts go in the 7 and 5 o'clock positions when
facing towards the front of the car.....important that these bolts are in
the right holes.
All this being said, you should be able to get the car in gear when it is
not running...might be a little tough depending upon where the input shaft
is aligned when it comes to rest.
Hope this helps.
