Hey, my clutch is not fully engaging as my clutch fork is getting stuck right before its fully engaged. I can tap it with a hammer back into place but then it just gets stuck again.
any ideas how to fix this? oh and its not the slave as I can push the push rod back in.

throwout bearing carrier sticking on input shaft collar. remove trans, remove throwout bearing asmbly and fork, clean the collar the bearing carrier slides on and clean the inside of the bearing carrier, lube collar with anti seize or brake grease and reinstall all parts/trans. remember to clean and lube the pivot ball too

Or the pivot ball is broken. Very common problem. I've done it to 3 of my S13's before I finally replaced it with a NISMO unit. I've never had a problem since. Regardless of which one of these problems it is, the transmission is going to have to come out.
