If the (trip lever) is too long it wont let water down the tub. if you twist the linkage and make it shorter it should let water out. if its too long then it wont let water out because it is blocking the tub drain to hold the water. this is assuming that the tub drain is a trip lever type that is drained by a little lever you push up and pull down at the over flow of the tub drain
I take it that you removed the drain trip linkage and stopper through the vent hole .
You must now run a small hand or small power snake the less than eight feet to open the drain.
You can also plug up the vent,tightly and try a flat plunger on the tub drain .

I went to home Depot and saw the same thing that I pulled out. The gut said to get a snake and see if that works. I just do't understand what is blocking it now.
It sucks that your tub isn't draining right. It seems strange that there is no drain at all, normally the water just drains slowly. It might mean you have a very firm clog, I would try to call a professional plumber and see if he can help. Good luck! http://www.barstowindustrial.com/Hardwar...
