I'm new to the forum but I have searched for my problem and anything related and nothing has been stated that I haven't tried.

My car is a 1993 Nissan 300ZX TT, 5 spd obviously. Recently we replaced the clutch, flywheel, slave & master cylinder with all OEM Nissan parts. Along with changing the transmission out.

I have bled the system multiple times starting at the firewall, I have adjusted the pedal assembly twice just to be safe. I am still having problems with it shifting. With the car not running it will shift fine, struggles with reverse. When the car is started and running it is hard to shift into any gear, and it will NOT go into reverse.

If anybody has any new suggestions, I am open to anything that can possibly help the car has been sitting for too long and it's time to get it back on the road.

Thanks in advance.

The clutch isn't disengaging all the way. when you bled it, did you follow the FSM procedure and bleed at both points?

Yes as stated above, I bled it at both points. I started at the fender port, then going to the slave cylinder. I alternated between both multiple times. Still the same issue.

Only other thing I can think of right now is a bent clutch fork.
