So today i was working on the blaster and as many of you know i was having clutch issues. Well I fixed the clutch issue, there was no ball but after putting in a ball and new plates, The transmission is only staying in first gear? When i try and shift nothing is happening. And before this i tear the $25 side case gasket on accident. I decided id had enough for the night.
 
sounds like you didn't line up the locator dots on the pressure plate and clutch boss. you can use that gasket still with a little sealant. hope it ripped on the topside
 
If you didn't line the dots up on purpose i doubt you got "lucky" and got it right. you can try gasket sealant to fix the gasket. may or may not work
 
Well too bad your in kansas I'd stop by the curb and snatch it up!

I agree with the others, it is a pressure plate alignment issue. Or improper internal adjustment.
