I don't know how likely this is, but you might have damaged the input shaft from lifting the engine with the trans attached and bolted to the car. I don't think that would happen, but it could be likely.

actually that does seam plausible. there aint a hole lot of space between the top of the trans and the bottom of the car. lifting up the engine would have most likely pulled the trans into the bottom of the car. however, it seams to me that if doing this would bend the imput shaft, it would probably bend/stretch the bolts holding the trans to the back of the engine block. check to see if you are leaking trans fluid. if you are, pull your trans and

Transmission is bolted to the engine and held in place there's no possible way the input shaft could have gotten damaged from doing motor mounts. My bet is it's just a coincidence that it happened. I would verify your hydraulics are functioning properly, if everything appears to work properly, either the shift fork got bent or the throwout bearing is jamming on the support hub.

With the age that these cars are, if the whole hydraulic system hasn't been replaced yet, might as well just go ahead and do that. Especially if the hydraulic fluid was not regularly flushed. New units can be easily sourced through RockAuto, or OEM. If going through RockAuto, I reccomend the SACHS replacements. I have them and never been a problem. Then go ahead and replace the clutch/pressure plate w/ throwout bearing and pilot bearing. Would be wise to have the flywheel resurfaced as well. Also it is easy to overlook the bushings in the shift linkage. The best solution to that would be to drain and flush that fluid, remove and inspect the shifter and the bushings. Simply replace them and check the return spring as well. Once you're all done, fill with your favorite synthetic fluid and tighten everything back down. You might also want to consider draining, flushing, and refilling the trans fluid with a good GL5 synthetic fluid. Check for bronze shavings on the drain plug as well, this indicates worn synchronizers, which will cause the trans not to change gears.
Since the OP was pretty vauge, this is the best advice I can offer. These are all the most common failure places in terms of not being able to shift properly or at all. Refreshing them will make a noticable difference.

You ain't done yet...your fluid was low because your clutch slave cylinder(or master cylinder, or both) is leaking...that's how the fluid gets out in the first place. They will need to be replaced. That fluid is not low at anytime unless it leaked out.

Maybe you missed my last post..... You know, the one where I said to replace both the master and slave. I just didn't say they were leaking because, well, usually when things need replaced it is because they are faulty so I didn't want to be redundant. And yes it was a long post, but I don't just talk out of my ***. And trust me, I know what I am talking about with a good majority of manual trans topics, hence my sig.

Thats like a guy telling me that he's an expert welder because he graduated from TWS. I'm a QA specialist for the navy... and I can definitely say that TWS can certainly teach you how NOT to weld!
I missed your post, anyway. Probably because it was too long.

What? That you're an automotive student? You'll get a ton more credibility on here based on your posts (and experience) than saying you're going to school for it.
