While my car is off I can shift into any gear very easily, but once the engine is running it wont move into any gear. It is a manual transmition with about 199,900 miles on it, I just replaced the engine last spring it has about 75,000 miles on it. I have had no problems with the transmition up until now, I am not sure if it is even that. We have bled the system and that did not fix the problem. I had a problem with it not wanting to go in gear the other day at a stop light where I it would not go in first, so I put it in reverse and then it went into first. Now it wont go into any while the engine is running.

Make sure the slave cylinder is moving the clutch fork. Check the fluid level in the clutch master. If all is ok, your clutch has failed.
