Default bored? read/diagnose my problem

2nd time to drive the car since ls1/t56 swap...1st time was towed home because master blew and intalled tick master cylinder to fix, drove for a few blocks last night. Car has 2.73 gears for now so I had to slip the clutch to get out of stops but ran/shifted great and smooth.

Wake up and we suck again! somethings wrong, doesn't go into gear right.

with car off:
tranny fluid full
master fluid full, pedal hard
shifter goes in all gears easily
back tires spin in neutral, dont spin if in gear

With car on:
wont go into any gear easily unless you wiggle the shifter some...then it'll go into 1,2,4 really notchy and if you put in/out of gear a few times it'll go smooth.

I'm going to try to move the car on its own power and then prolly drop the tranny and haul it to a shop.

nevermind, won't go into gear at all now. Does this sound like a clutch or slave problem. If it was the slave, I wouldn't have full pressure on the pedal would I?

yea u wouldent have pressure but try to keep bleeding it. the more u bleed it the easier it is to get into gear.also u said u have an adjustable master? try adjusting that also.

nothing to bleed...she's bled and adjusted. it'll slide into 4th real easy with the car started, then I roll it forward some and it'll go into 1st real easy, so I'ma drive it to my mechanic and have the slave and throwout replaced. Thats what I think it is at least.
