About the linkage, I secured the rod going from the bottom of the shifter to the transmission if that's what you mean. If there's something else about the linkage that I didn't do, let me know.
I don't think I reinstalled the reverse lockout correctly because nothing happens when I pull up on the shifter to go into reverse.
I just hope I don't have to pull apart the transmission again

I warned you not to mess around inside the car. :P
So this is good news then. You just need to fix the lockout which is very easy. Here are the directions from the service manual but I didn't even follow them. I just loosened it up so it could slide around a little and then a moved the shifter around until it would go into 1st and 2nd but not reverse and the tightened the bolts.

Once you get the shifter working correctly then you can focus on bleeding the clutch. Two rules when bleeding is, don't run dry and don't let the clutch up unless the bleeder valve is closed. If either of those things happen you are just putting air back in the system. Get a friend to help out with this process. Just have them top off the reservoir as it drops and maybe open/close the valve for you.
