I've tried to find a thread for this problem, but after days and hours of searching and reading a lot of the collective wisdom in this forum, I have come up empty.

I just replaced the brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder, and clutch slave cylinder. I bench bled the BMC and did the oil can method to bleed the CMC and CSC. I went to try to test shifting the gears and nothing would engage. So I went underneath and moved the three shift linkages to a neutral position. I went back in the car and I could shift. This is all with the car not running.

I thought all was well, but then I realized I could shift without pushing in the clutch pedal. The pedal felt OK going down and it came back OK, so I'm wondering what is happening?

Did I do something wrong with the shift linkages? Is there still air in the hydraulic line? What would make the CSC stay engaged like that? Do I need to adjust something on the CMC?

Thanks in advance.
