the pedal went right to the floor real easy and the lever moved out on the tranny. is something missing.

 

It certainly is !!
Nice to know what you might be driving,
year , model, exactly what you did. The more info you can supply the better.
If the vehicle has a mechanical clutch linkage and not hydraulic,, it sounds like the clutch fork was not fully mounted on the ball stud. If that is the case you probably could reinstall everything making sure you get the fork contacts correctly indexed with the release brg and properly mounted on the ball stud.
Not knowing exactly what you did , that is about the closest I could come as to why the fork slipped out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,if that is what actually happened.

 

The car is a 1995 ford aspire and the previous owner supposedly put in a new clutch by taking out the en gine instead instead of the transmission.

 

i got everything else working except the headlights, blower fan, and interior light. the car runs fine. going to work on the clutch next. is the tranny difficult to take out? someone said i had to support the spider gears or they will drop. i had a haynes manual but put it aside and now i cannot find it.

 

If you need to remove the trans, I can send you the shop procedure/illustrations for the job..
Same with the electrical drop outs,, if your up for some test, let me know.

 

i am up for it. i got the headlights working, the drivers' side is a bit dim probably a bad ground the interior light needs a bulb, the fan circuit was bypassed with a hot wire to the motor and wrapped with electrical tape. i got the whole center consol apart it was full of garbage and cigarette butts. i am going to take the seats out and the carpet and clean everything real good.
