MAKE SURE YOU IN STALLED IT RIGHT ON THE MARKS ON ALL THE GEARS AND SPROCKETS FIRST.
THEN THE TIMING SHOULD BE RIGHT

think you might have popped a drive coupling

its possible that your clutch could need bleeding up as it is hydraulic

Instead of buying preformed lines from the dealer, just measure the total length of all the hoses you need to replace and go down to your local auto parts store and buy it by the foot for less than $1 a foot. You can also get connectors. Chances are that you can probably be up and running for about $10. Take a piece of the old line with you to get the right size. Hope this helps.

park the car outside in the dark, open the hood and start the motor let it idle. check for any spark's allong the plug wires.if you observe any! replace the plug wire's

The battery could be slightly weak, making the computer go on the fritz, try a fresh battery!!!! The rev counters bounce often with a weak battery.

Leave feedback good or bad.

That's a difficult one to diagnose without driving the car. Is there a local transmission shop you could go to?
