Ok so I was away for a while... partying and such! Anyhoo... got a whole ton of stuff in theory torn out of the engine bay when I realized I had no clue what I was doing!
Could it just have been the master or slave cylinder?
By the way thank you for all the replies!
I called a shop before my drunken stooper stopped hence allowing me to post this. Finally got some gloves so my keyboard won't get all dirty when searching YouTube. The shop said it sounds like the clutch died. Again, I would shift, it'd 'feel like it sent into gear' but then wouldn't engage the gear. The motor just keeps idling or would rev up. So like NO clutch right?!
Anyhow where I'm stuck now since I decided to pull the whole motor and rebuild it is at the clutch cable. Wouldn't I need to remove the cable from the tranny before dropping the whole thing out?
I realized after it was too late that I could just separate the transmission from the block. But like I said a rebuild kit from japanengine.com for 330 bucks didn't sound too bad before I jumped into the project SOOO I think clutch and a rebuild are in order. Hasn't been rebuilt and the block has 262k on it. Head had valve timing done when I bought it but other than that no major repairs.
Alright then shout out to the replier's thank you so much for your help! Thanks zack11122! More upgrades including wire tuck and hopefully a mystical centrifugal someday on the way for this chariot .
