    We just recently did a automatic convention to manual transmission swap everything seems to look good but the motor doesn't want to turn. Started and gages doesn't turn the fly well and we try turning the motor from the front pulley from a 19 deep and it seems like the motors frozen. The truck was just running yesterday.

    Did you have somebody holding the clutch in while you tried to turn it? If not, you probably just didn't get the switch that only lets the engine start when the tranny's in park or neutral jumped.

    Ya but it should still turn over by hand.

    Don't have any ideas for you, sorry.
