Next question, will it go into gear when the engine is off?

Okay, if you cannot shift into any gear when the engine is running and you can when the engine is off, then your clutch linkage has failed.

Most of the linkage is in the bell housing, right. Except for the slave cylinder.

Master cylinder, plumbing, slave cylinder, and connection to the throwout bearing all constitute "Linkage" in my book. Pretty much everything in between the clutch pedal and the clutch disc qualifies.

Your right Shipo, my bad. linkage at the pedal looked good when I adjusted the pedal. My problem didn't start until I replaced the slave because it was leaking. Maybe if I re-build the leaky slave, my problem will go away.

Cool, keep us posted; hopefully a new/rebuilt slave and a full system bleed will restore your clutch operation.
