Q: Just replaced manual transmission. And will not start but just cranks.

asked by on December 19, 2017

I just replaced my manual transmission. Put a new clutch in it as well. But i think im missing a important wire that may not be hooked up. It’s going to be somewhere around the transmission. But the truck cranks but won’t start. And I never had this problem until replacing the transmission.

My car has 200000 miles.
