trans swap

I feel like an idiot right now- installed trans put the engine in and then relized I cant get it to shift at all- I cant get it to go into any gear.- I just had the engine bolted in- so i slid it back off the input shaft and still can not shift at all. I had to swap hockey sticks/ nosecones and i cant the hockey stick to budge.

Should I be able to shift through the gears with the engine out?

Yes you should be able to shift through the gears.

what nosecone and hockey stick did you use?

got them from WW
