I thought that because my shifter wasn't goin in gear that the problem would be either my clutch or slave cylinder.

When I would shift between gears, it would be like you have to push it into gear. And but now it wouldn't go into 5th & reverse. Could it be not enough gear oil, or the master cylinder or maybe a linkage in the transmission?

Yes, it could be a bad slave from too much free play, could also be a failed clutch as well.

I changed my clutch, throwout bearing
And slave cylinder. And then I bled the
master cylinder, but the pressure on the pedal wasn't all that firm. And of
Course I go to check the shifter it would go in gears1thru4 but 5& reverse wouldn't.
Thanks a lot

If you have a new clutch, slave cylinder and free play correct and bled, the only thing left is the clutch master cylinder

Hey, you know what I just started the truck to see if it would go in gear. So I
pressed in the clutch and tryed it out,
this time none of the gears work. What do you think is happening?
Thanks a lot

The slave may not be moving from the bad master
