Default 2002 5 speed manual please help!!

Hello everyone,
Im new on here and am looking for some advice/answers and ideas. I have a 2002 non S manual transmission.new competition clutch and aluminum flywheel about 30/40 k ago. Long story short, Friday morning in about the length of 5-6 miles I went from fine to a little difficulty shifting into gears, to couldnt get in any gear at all with car running. Clutch has leg, or other wise, normal push or resistance. but does nothing. With car off, car goes into all gears. Slave cylinder isnt leaking, fluid is topped off.slave cylinder looks to be moving parts as it should.any ideas????? any help would be awesome!!!
Thanks in advance,
Tripp

I recently finished installing a clutch, pressure plate and pressure plate bearing in mine. It sounds like your bearing is not actuating the pressure plate. Could be:
Bad Clutch Master Cylinder
Bad Slave Cylinder
Low fluid
Air in the lines
Bad pressure plate bearing

Can you start the car in first gear then gently shift through the gears without the clutch by letting off the gas and timing your shifts? If so this should rule out the transmission. I went inside my trans to replace some bearings (abused by previous owner). If the trans shifts by feathering the gas then the problem is with the pressure plate not releasing the clutch disc and is probably one of the above.
