Yes, it's a different transmission.  I will loosen the bolts and nut to see
if it moves, tomorrow.
And yes, I did clean and reconnect the ground strap.

You changed the transmission, as in a different transmission?
Loosen the bell housing bolts and try to turn it again.

I just changed the transmission and the cv shafts, serviced the clutch, new
pilot bearing, etc.
Wanted to start, it would not turn over.  I thought, it's the battery.  Not.

Went to see if the engine turns by hand and it would not move.
The clutch works fine, the starter clicks but can't turn the engine.

I can't imagine what causes it.

Anyone has an idea?
