Toyota wont go in gear

Hello,I just drained the hydraulic fluid from a toyota 40-2fg20 to install a new hydraulic pump.Now I can not get it to go in gear,I press the clutch as usual and it has always been very strong and worked well just a day before but it will not go into gear now.If I force the gear lever mildly I can feel the forklift wanting to move forward but will not go onto gear.Do I need to bleed the system somewhere?does the hydraulic system have anything to do with the transmission?It is a standard with a forward and reverse lever and a seperate Hi-Lo range lever.
Thanks ahead of time.

Just from memory you'll find toyota did use the hydraulic oil for brakes etc. Check all your bleeders on your clutch master cyl etc.
