No idle and no 3rd gear!?

Heya every1,

This is my first post on here and I really hope you rx7 gurus out there can help me.

First problem is, that my car will not idle. It will just stall. I have spark and the fuel pump is good. Also I just replaced the fuel filter. Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated.

My biggest problem is the tranny tho. I just installed a new clutch, and while I had the tranny out I put it through all gears right befor we installed it again just to make sure it was ok. So far so good, it shifted smooth.
However right after we installed it back into the car it wouldn't go into 3rd gear. It will go into 1st 2nd 4th 5th and reverse but it will not do 3rd.

Thanx in advanced for any replies.
Again, your help is greatly appreciated

my red s5 would run then die because my air pump didnt have the hose running form the air box to the air pump connected. the other thing people told me it might have been was bad compression/.

Hey *****,

check your shift linkage. It may be bound up and be hitting something.
