why can't i select any gears?

Ok i replaced the pilot bearing, the clutch, the pressure plate, and the throwout bearing and then i bleed the clutch. i still can't select any gears the all pretty much grind in every gear. The folk assembly seems to work ok and i can see pressure being put on the pressure plate cause it moves a little. The hydralics for the clutch seems to work ok it moves it so what is wrong?

Have you replaced the master and slave cylinder? That's always the first step in troubleshooting an issue like this. There are clutch cylinder tests in the FSM.

I assume you can put the car in gear when the engine isn't turning?

The hydraulics may be good enough to partially disengage the pressure plate, but if the master cylinder is leaking internally, you may not be making enough pressure to fully disengage the clutch.

Alternately, the clutch disk is way too thick and even full throw can't disengage it.

Also the hose could be old & soft enough to baloon some.
