Pretty sure the transmission requires the engine running in order to actually engage. I doubt your fuel/water separator is the culprit here as well. I think Chris hit the nail on the head and avoiding what he posted is essentially ignoring the big elephant in the room. Figure out why the block is not turning freely by hand and then once you have that figured out, go back through all the other accessories and make sure those do not contribute to another malfunction.
