    Hello,

    I have a 2013 tacoma TX Baja, 4.0 1gr-fe engine 6 speed manual.

    I just installed my LCE clutch kit with their 40 pound flywheel and now it's not allowing me to go into reverse 1st 3rd or 5th gear regardless if the engine is off or on.
    When the engine is off, while stepping on and off the clutch, it still doesn't go in.

    2nd 4th and 6th gear goes in completely fine and engages good.

    Everything was installed correctly. Shifter bushing is still good. I also have brand new TRD quick sifter. Used both the new and old shifter.
    Even bleed the clutch slave with new fluids.

    The align tool I received I'm not sure if it's correct as it's a tool that requires a pilot bearing hole.
    I noticed my tacoma Gen doesn't have the pilot bearing hole to help align the disk, so I eyeballed it with the align tool and got it as straight as I can.

    My tacoma was drivable and goes into all gears before I did the clutch change.

    Can I get some help and ideas if it's the clutch pressure plate or the disk causing this?
    Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated?

    Thanks @Dm93
    That worked.
    I took the shifter plate off and looked in the housing and there it was, a damn plastic clamp that broke off the harness and lodged there preventing it from engaging in the gears. Lol.
    Took that broken plastic clamp out and everything is shifting smoothly.
    Thanks again.

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    It’s a clamp that holds the little breather hose to the harness
