can't shift into reverse
can't shift into reverse Well I had a new clutch set up put in about a month ago. I'm now having trouble with the car going into reverse while sitting still. It will almost have to be broken to get it in reverse sometimes. I can put it in 1st and move about a foot and then it will go in reverse. Sometimes it will not want to go into any gear while sitting still. It shifts fine while driving and the clutch pedal is good for the most part. What the heck could this be? Don't all of the fluids get changed during a clutch swap? Does this sound like a tranny problem or what? How do you check the fluid inside the actual shifter? Sorry for my ignorance but everything in the drivetrain is brand new. 
Sounds like you didn't do the clutch swap yourself? (Fluid changes are not part of a clutch swap, but should be)
Check for clutch drag by driving to a safe, flat surface
Put the car in 1st gear, and keep the clutch pedal pressed all the way in.
Rev up the car to 5000 rpms, and release parking and brake pedal.
If the car creeps forward, then your clutch is not fully disengaging. May just be the breakin, or you may need to shim your slave. Otherwise you may need to bleed your slave cyl again/some more.

If it was only reverse, I'd say they may have left the reverse lockout connector off the solenoid, but if it happens sometimes in all the gears, it's almost always a clutch/hydraullic issue.
