so i did a 5 speed swap that was completed yesterday (new clutch, flywheel cut, new master new everything). and all day yesterday and today it worked fine!, but today after work, after letting the car warm up, i put in clutch and noticed 1st gear wouldnt go in, i tried second and all gear and none went in. so i turned off the car and put the clutch in, and while the car is "off" all the gears go in nicely so i turned it on and nothing again, i had to turn car on in 1st gear and almost force the gears in until i got home,

it doesnt make any grinding noise or anything just feels like something is blocking it from going into gear once you push hard enough itll push through and grab the gear. while driving if you keep it in gear and push in clutch the rpms drop down (showing the clutch is working) im just not sure why if its been working fine all day why it just stopped grabbing the gears and it feels like something is blocking..

LOL, Deff a clutch Disengaging issue. Check all your Lines and your master and slave cyl for leaks. I guarantee that is your problem. I have had this happen before in my Escort GT's, both of them. Slave cyl leaked interally. Have someone push it in, while you watch the slave to see if it moves and look for leaks under the car. It may take couple minutes of pushing before you find it.
