That is weird
I've bleed the brakes and the clutch. Nothing different. Going to pull apart the slave cylinder and see if anything is broken in there. Still doesnt make sense, but I dont have much experice with clutchs. I've adjusted the clutch from under the pedal and can feel the differences of where it engages, nice to know.
Start car, goes into gear perfect. I can drive around fine, I little rough going into the gears. Put the car in neutal and then push the clutch in again and it will not go into any gear. Shut the car off and restart the car and it works fine, until I go into neutal again.
Sucks!!!

If you don't see any external leaks on the clutch system.... My guess is an internal leak in the clutch master where the fluid flows past the pressure chamber and goes behind it.
Try pumping the clutch while it's locking you out. See if it let's you in gear while pumping it.

The clutch had been installed over 6000 miles ago. First problem. I thinking some kind of internal leak could be it.
I'm going to take it apart and see whats up? Hopefully.
Why does restarting the car make it go into gear???

OK, Bleed the system, then replaced the stock clutch cable with a new braided clutch line. Adjusted clutch. Still does not work.
Still have the problem PLEASE HELP.
Start the car, goes into gear fine, take the clutch out and into neutral, then push the clutch in again and it will not go into any gears.
Come on guys, THINK.
Thanks in advance.

If you don't think it's the clutch master...
Then it must be a bent clutch fork. The one that holds the throw out bearing.
I seen this happen in my friends 2G.
Same symptoms you are having.
