37 21 stud eng. t5 trans with cornhusker kit with ford type cross shaft. Drake 39 pedal assy.

Clutch does not appear do be disengaging.
Things feel correct... small amount of free play and then feel the pressure when pushing down on pedal. When pedal is released can feel the clutch plate push the pedal back up. Measured the travel on the external cross shaft lever and it is 1" then pedal arm travel bottoms out in the little notch in the frame.

What is weird is before driveline was put in I had the yoke in trans and started eng and was able to shift through all the gears. Now when I try I cant shift because the gears are spinning.

Any ideas?
I'm really not looking forward to pulling it apart again.
Unfortunately there is no inspection access with this set up.
