for any-one who's never put a clutch in and then turned around and pulled it back out just for fun. you should try it. at least 3 times.....
so, i put my truck back together. bled the clutch master cylinder all that. went to drive it, wouldn't go into gear. had a good pedal and everything.
shifted fine when it wasn't running. wouldn't go into gear with it running. bled the slave cylinder. same result.
you have no idea how uber excited i was when i thought "oh shit. did i put the clutch disc in backwards?"
i almost came in my pants i was so fuckin happy. so, i pulled everything back apart. only to find out that i had put the clutch disc in the right way. which made me that much more happy. so much so, that i almost shit myself.
i've got the trans bolted back up now. still have to put everything else back together and figure out what the fuck is going on with this thing.
i was just so fucking elated that i had to stop what i was doing and come on here and let you all know about it.

edit: truck is back together.... again and running.
