AWD Civic Transmission problems

Band Wagon
Hi, new to the site hopefully somebody can help me out
ok, i just recently finished swapping in my jdm dohc zc motor in my 89 AWD Wagon, motor started up fine and everything, the problem is i cannot put the car into gear when the motor is running (goes in fine when motors not running), i can start the car in first and being forceful i can get the car into the other gears, but it refuses to shift or put anykinds of power down..
Before the swap i installed a new exedy organic clutch kit and the throw and piliot bearings so i dont think that that's the problem
I tightened up the clutch cable as much as possible but that only got rid of my lack of pedal pressure, a friend tried suggesting trimming the rubber stopper on the clutch cable that prevents too much slack so that i can tighten it up more, does anybody have any other ideas to what the problem may be?
This is just pissing me off because i was hoping to be boosted by now, and this is just put everything to a hault..cmon wagon gods..help me out

Did you use the wagon clutch and flywheel?
There should be about a inch(25mm) of freeplay in the clutch pedals.
Was the tranny removed during the swap :?: Did you put back the cable shifter(not clutch) brkt & adj. them :?: Was the trans oil removed :?:
i only considered trimming the stopper because i was thinking of replacing the clutch cable and those componets since theres the possibility it could be shot. Would that account for my problem?
It actually seems like the pressure plate isn't clamping down properly
I realize it doesn't feel right, but you should run the cable through its range of adjustment in small increments. Test the shifting after each increment. If it does become able to shift, you know its in the adjustment...then you can concentrate on the free play.
Just kiddin :!: You may have bought a TO Brg. for a 2WD.The 4WD uses a different TO brg. Go check the brg box # or reciept.
...for those who might not recognize the abbreviation.
Shit..i think that might be it, prostreet had originally sent me a clutch kit for the 1990 awd(mines and 89) , but then Only sent me the right disk, not to mention the Original box was shaddy as hell, it had the part number scratched off and a new one written on it.
