won't go in gear

Sounds like you need to adjust the clutch pedal height so that when depressed, it fully disengages the clutch. To verify that the clutch is not being fully disengaged, press the pedal in and then apply pressure to the shifter to try to shift it into 5th. gear. This will put a load on the syncros if the transmission is turnning and the engine RPM will bog down a couple hundred RPM's, verifying the clutch isn't fully disengaging.

The alignment tool is used so you can stick the transmission the first time. That has nothing to do with the problem your describing. If you have pedal pressure, you either have air in the lines, a faulty slave or master cylinder, or the pedal is not properly adjusted. If I were you, I would bleed the lines just to be sure that's not the problem.

I got someone to push the clutch pedal and I was looking at the slave cylinder and I can see it moving. Also I bleed the line from the clutch slave cylinder and that didn't help. Also try to put in 5th gear when running and it didn't do anything,but the rpm did drop maybe a hundred or less.

The clutch master cylinder and slave has been replaced about 6 months ago with oem factory unit. I don't see any fluid leaking and clutch MC is full of fluid.

It could be that the slave is not moveing the fork enough to disengauge the clutch. When I did my clutch I acually had to use a longer shaft for the connection between the slave and fork.

last engine swap we did i saw a slave go back together slightly crooked, the push rod part. it wouldn't come out after that pushing the clutch pedal. pulled the slave off, removed the boot, pulled the pushrod to straighten it out. put it back together, it was all good. so check you slave for binding

dude, under the dash ... get down there and look at the pedal. You are going to see a rod that physically pushes into the master cylinder through the firewall (sorta like a ***** i guess). Well you just gotta adjust it's nuts so that it pushes in further.
