had trans. rebuilt clutch pressure plate pilot bushing still having trouble with car running have problems when its off it seems to shift fine.
hard to shift in first to forth and grinds going into reverse.What problems are you having?
I have had the clutch in and out on adjustment. is it that touchy ?Check clutch adjustment... seems like clutch isn't fully releasing
Things to check:
5) incorrect Z bar or Z bar alignment
I know this all to well! Bought a car with the same type of issues, pulled the trans it was bone dry and completely trashedBTW
Make sure there is oil in it!

was not ramming the gears just noitice it went into any gear easy with motor not runningIf the cluch is properly installed, as in see above tips, and the disc is not in backwards, and the tranny went straight in with no fuss,as in you didn't bend the disc, and all the parts are correct, then;
no the adjustment is not touchy, so long as you are depressing the pedal far enough. With 1 inch of freeplay, normally, you do not need to push the pedal to the floor.I say normally, cuz if you have a too-short arm on the Z-bar, well then I cannot say,lol.
With the engine off, you should not be ramming it through the gears. This can be very hard on the brass rings;many times the clutching teeth will butt together and not allow a shift. If you force it, you are again being very hard on the brass rings, and it may even jam onto the steel cone making further shifting nearly impossible, until the engine is started and breaks it free.
BTW
Make sure there is oil in it!
The oil acts as a cluster-brake Slowing it down when the pedal is depressed and the disc is no longer dragging on the pressure-plate nor the flywheel.Just before it stops is the best time to select first. To select reverse the cluster has to be completely stopped.
If it's grinding into reverse, then the cluster is still spinning, and so is the disc.
nothing till I let the clutch outWhat happens when the car is running in gear and and you have your foot on the clutch?
