1973 mgb bought for 800$ from original owner sat 5 years transmission problem car would not shift and would drive if started in gear changed slave cylinder tried to bleed clutch now transmission shifts smoothly and car wont move wth???:rapture:
 
Does the engine rev up when trying to move? Do you have full movement from clutch pedal? Does it feel like the clutch may not be engaged, as in push rod adjustment wrong? Lots of varibles.
 
If you did not change the hose there could be pressure still in the slave cylinder. Crack the bleed screw and see if the fork moves. Your foot pressure can move fluid thru the hose but it may not release. If that's the case a few pumps and you will blow the piston out of the cylinder.
