auto to manual conversion issues

I've been slowly working my way on converting my '89T convertible from an automatic to a manual. I have run into some issues and I'm stuck.
I know I haven't bled the clutch properly, or enough. That's easy to remedy.
The shifter from the donor car seems to also have some issues. Again, should be easy to remedy. (It rotates and I couldn't find the gears when it was still in the donor car. Once I got the tranny out of the donor, I could manually get it into all the gears. I adjusted it but yet reverse is still where reverse should be and it's also in neutral.)
I haven't hooked up the cruise control switch on the clutch pedal because, well, I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
My main issue is starting the car. When in reverse, the car turns over and it also lurches backwards. (see above on shifter and clutch bleeding) When I put it in what is first/third it should be in neutral (again, see shifter issue). When I turn the key to start, it barely does a thing, just a slight groan. The engine does not turn over at all.
What am I missing?
