How much freeplay is in "teh"¹ pedal, if you are seeing motion in the lever then it would appear the cable is not broken and perhaps the cable adjustment is far too loose (OEM quadrant/pawl stripped?).
Also, what "fluid" would you suspect might be low--this is a cable operated clutch?

¹ - Keeping in mind that I am old, what is this teh thing? Is it considered "cool" or something, it's still 3 keystrokes so why not spell it correctly?

As far as "teh" maybe I should learn to use spell check more frequently, my apologies.

lol dont use a dolly again...haha. Sorry, but really, When you push the clutch pedal down, the the clutch actually disengage? Just have someone push the pedal while you are under the car and see. If it does, its obviously not your clutch thats the issue. Another way, have someone put the car in gear, while its off, and try pushing the car while thye hold the clutch in. Should tell you if the clutch is or isnt disengaging.

ok just noticed when i turn the car on. there is like a chirping noise coming from the tranny and the clutch fork is bouncing up and down. everything is stock from the clutch to the cable and quadrant. I still cant get this thing to go into gear, does anyone have any ideas?

Yes, you DID say you were able to put the car into gear when it was not running correct? If so, with the vehicle turned off, put car in gear, the wedge board on clutch pedal, then get out and push, but please do so on flat area where car wont roll away lol. If it does not move, then your clutch is not disengaging properly, which is why you can't get it into gear with the motor on.
