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.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
