As I'm sure you know, it takes very little torque to spin the front side of a transmission while it's in neutral. The way a syncro works for engagement, not only must the two mating sides be at rest (not spinning) relative to each other, there must also be no torque, or at least very little.
It takes very little torque to lock a transmission out of gear. Even if you manage to force the input side to quit spinning by using the syncro as a brake against the dragging clutch, it still won't engage.
If none of this makes sense, or the picture is fuzzy, don't be embarrassed. Let me know. We can go back and clarify more. Otherwise, I'll proceed. There are a few different ways to get a feel for the existence, or absence of clutch drag.
