cant shift into gear?

so my car has been on the road for about 2 weeks now and suddenly the car doesnt wanna go into gear when the car is on, when the car is off it will engage fine, but when i go to drive i have to force it into gear and then after a few shifts it starts to work fine again, my clutch and presure plate and pilot bearing are all newi just replaced the clutch master and it didnt seam to fix the problem i think i need to adjust the clutch pedal hight, i have a new slave but i didnt install it yet, it appear to be working fine tho i can see it pushing the fork.... im stumped any ideas?

if you can see the hydraulics moving and staying out he you have your leg in then a pinched spigot bearing dragging is usually the culprit
,, but not to rule out a broken clutch fork around the pivot dimple

usually when this happens your pilot bearing took a dump. snag a Exedy oem clutch kit off ebay for $100 and replace it all. Exedy make sure not a gripforce or some other shoot off claiming to be Exedy.
