Won't go into gear while started?
So I've replaced the master and slave cylinders but it still won't go into gear while the car is on. Could it be my clutch?
now non of my mechanics know anything about rotarys and i'm still learning how but this is really stumping me hard.

I have actually tried that and it only starts moving forward while stalling out.

Have you bled your clutch system properly make sure all air is out . If you open the bleeder 1/4 turn it should almost gravity bleed it;s self making sure you don't run the reservoir to low ( keep it topped up ) or it is a never ending job . Basically all hydraulic clutches work the same so if a mechanic says it's a rotary and don't know about the clutch . I'm betting they don't know the difference between **** and blue clay .

There must be an inspection plate either on the top at rear of engine or underneath around flywheel area . get someone to push pedal a few times while you watch the action of the clutch .to see if it moves freely or not . if no go then I suggest you remove the trans a bit and find out what the problem is before you do damage to something else . it is possible that the clutch is stuck to the pressure plate . maybe take a few pictures or a short movie and upload it so we can see what is happening .

We can speculate until Lindsay Lohan sobers up, but it won't do you much good. If you're convinced it's not in the hydraulics...which is easy enough to check, it's time to pull the transmission. Many things have been suggested, I'll do one more...a failed clutch fork.
As mentioned previously, there's nothing different about the car aft of the flywheel from any other car. Any competent shop should be able to deal with it.
And it might help in future questions/posts if you put the year and model of your car in your signature. That way we don't have to wonder or go to your profile to find out.

My bet is clutch fork or the pilot bearing seized. I have never broken a fork but did have the stock needle pilot bearing lock the engine/trans together TWICE. The second time i replaced it with an oilite bronze bushing and have not had a problem since. Good luck.

I had this problem when I shattered a synchro ring on my 93. When I took apart the transmission I found chucks of the synchro in the other gears including the reverse hub, needless to say I had to rebuild the tranny because there was quite a bit of wear on the other gears after that.

Update: after a long wait I fixed the car found out that my whole clutch was blown had to replace more stuff put in a new clutch and Shifter so I won't scratch my car when shifting since the stock shifter was to loose and would grind if not shifted correctly.
I put in a Short Shifter since I like to race it now and again down the street xD but yeah my car is running at some point I will try to post up a walk around of my car it's basicly in mint condition for an 88 everything was all stock when I bought this car!~
