Tranny Question

[lo-specials]

I'm almost finished with my tranny swap. Today I was looking for everything to work properly so I started shifting gears. It's dry shifting because I have to put the fluids in it. Now it seems like my 5th gear and Reverse aren't working. I can't get them in their gear. So do I have to start my car up for having oil pressure on the tranny so these 2 gears will work or could there be something wrong?

I did get a whole set of cables, stick and frame, and the bracket on the tranny from 1 and the same car.

Can somebody help me with this?

Do you have any oil in the tranny now?

No, not yet. I thought I would test it first before I throw oil in it.

I would definetly put oil in the tranny. Check that first.

put oil in there and roll the car in neutral to move the differential a little, or if its in the air, turn it with the half shaft. try it again with the clutch pedal pressed in

And then it should shift through the gears?

No, that's ok. It's an old pic
Nothing external is jamming it. But thanks for your comment

there is no oil "pressure" in the tranny its a splash/oil bath lubrication setup.
Things that come to mind if poorly routed shifter cables, a stretched shifter cable (seen that before though its usually losing 1,3,5 or 2,4,R), or lastly an internal problem with the tranny. putting oil may help and is worth a try for sure though.
