Pedal has pressure. While the car is off I can switch thru gears smooth. Really weird. Start car. Press clutch in, goes into gear like butter.

Take car out of gear, engage clutch, nothing I get locked out of all the gears. Shut car off, restart same thing??

Are you trying to engage into gear while the car is running with the clutch out?

NO. I'm only trying to engage while the car is running. It does seem like there might be an air bubble in there. The fluid was low when I checked it. It was right at the min.

I'd check the fluid first/bleed the lines. Also check the clutch release push-rod cylinder, use the following write up

If the rod isn't seated properly in the boot it can cause this kind of a problem
