Default hard to shift into gear at idle?

i cant figure it out.. when im rolling, goes into gear no problem. doesnt grind, etc. but if i come to a complete stop, and it idles for a min, it will not go into any gear. if i turn it off, it goes in gear no problem. pumping the clutch pedal doesnt help. ideas? the clutch master cylinder is new.

You say when your driving it goes into gear just fine. Like absolutely smooth as butter.? Or is it a bit notchy..???

its a little notchy sometimes, but it does have an aftermarket short shifter. its nothing that would make me think anything's wrong.

I am having something similar. When i go to put the car into first, like if i am at a light, occasionally (maybe once a week) it wont want to go into first. It will go into second no problem, so i will put it into 2nd, then go up into first and it will go into 1st ok. What is the deal with that? there are no problems going into gear while moving.
