Hi,
The idea that it will shift when the engine is off and not shift (or a hard shift) when the engine is running indicates it isn't releasing from the engine. The most common cause is either a low fluid level (clutch fluid), a faulty clutch master cylinder, or a bad slave cylinder.
Since the fluid for the clutch is held in the brake master cylinder, check it to make sure it is full. Next, if you look at pic 1, I circled the clutch master cylinder. Check to make sure there are no leaks or anything that seems damaged or faulty.
If you look at pic 2, it shows the slave cylinder which will be mounted on the transmission. Check to see if there are any leaks there as well.
Check those two things and let me know what you find.
Take care,
Joe
