It might be that your gear oil needs to be changed..it is supposed to be changed every 96,000kms or every 48 months...which ever comes first....

Gears not engaging on 2004 KIA Rio manual transmission

If you are unable to get the shifter to go into hear, the most likely problem is a bad clutch. Have the clutch hydraulics checked as well as the release bearing.

My 2004 Kia Rio starts fine but shuts off after 4-5 seconds. The funny thing is if I shift to Drive within the 4-5 seconds, it stays on, but in Park or Neutral, it will shut off.

in the causes for p0753 code there is a shift solenoid ( which you have replaced ) also TCM and a ECM. The transmission TCM (transmission control module ) is responsible for most of the problems so have it checked out especially the wiring and connectors to the TCM
