Default Manual swap

So I swap my a/t 07 350z to m/t with a g37, I have everything in but I’m trying to shift gears but it’s not going anywhere. It feels like it’s lock or something. I haven’t bled the trans yet could that be my issue? Need help guys! Thanks a lot!

Do you mean you haven't bled the clutch? I'd work my way through this guide. Also, what is the exact symptom? Does it not shift into gear when the car's off?

I am also goint to guess the clutch is not releasing. The shifter may also not be positioned correctly.

Wow, that is a long parts list. I'm guessing you're on to something with the shifter position since modding was necessary.

Sorry for the late reply guys. The transmission was lock in gear or neutral so I got a new one now. But now I can’t turn the car on, it completely dead. I’ve done the neutral switch bypass and nothing still, have any ideas?
