I re-did the clutch, and when I went to put the shifter back in it just won’t go, I guess my question is, how do you put the shifter back in? And should be pushing the clutch in when I try to put the shifter in?

You put the shifter in the reverse of how it came out. You don’t need to push the clutch in to install it, but it couldn’t hurt to give it a try! Good luck.

Hopefully you had the transmission in neutral before you pulled the shifter out.
