MO car going into gear problems

i have a 88 se rx7 with a turbo 2 engine and drive train. i can not power shift any gear. i can hardly shift it i have to wait till the rpms are all the way down most of the time. i have a lot of experience with this car and other cars so im not a noob. i put a new slave cylinder on it and bled it and bled it. still the same problem. the clutch never slips. i can do a second gear dump no trouble. it will blow the tires off in 3rd no trouble slipping. when i push the clutch in while its idling it takes a minute for the tranny to stop spinning. u can hear it inside the car. i mean what do u guys think could be causing this? just 10 minutes ago i bled it out atleast 6 times. held it to the floor and i opened the bleeder then closed it and pumped it. did this 6 times. it doesnt leak any clutch fluid out. i would take any opinions you guys have. thanks ryan

Kind of sounds like synchros but the taking a minute to spin down sounds clutch related

Time to change your trans fluid. My car sat for 2.5 years, and trans would wine and be often hard to go into gear when I was driving again. Sometimes I found myself trying 2 or 3 times, while driving, putting the car into 3rd gear! After changing the fluid the trans is silent and I can shift perfect.
