Default DIY clutch went wrong

Me and my friend took the tranny down put the clutch in in. Put everything back together but it's stuck in 4th gear and won't budge. Please help. Thanks in advance

How does the clutch feel? Make sure the shifter cables arent backwards (this is NOT easy to do wrong, but I have seen it happen)...

The clutch feels fine and the car turns on and everything. But even with the clutch line off the tranny is stuck and won't move the weight thing. Won't budge

You should be able to take the trans out of gear even if the clutch is engaged (provided the car is not running and sitting still). Disconnect the shifter cables from the trans and try moving gears from the trans itself. If somehow you got the sifter cables backwards, it would put it in a major bind.

Disconnected the cables and tried to move it from tranny itself. It will go all the way to the left go to the right a little bit but stops. Will not go to the right or flex up. If it has a bind what do? Rebuild the tranny?

sounds like the tranny is out, had nothing to do with the clutch, and i dont suggest a rebuild for the same cost and alot of time saving i would grab a trans out of a local parts recyler i picked up my camry trans for the tc for dirt cheap
