I like this method for bleeding the clutch, can you shift gears with the car off?

Grab the slave rod and try and force it back into the slave. If you can there is still air in the system. If you have help have someone push the clutch while yoi watch the slave and see if its moving at all.
 
I had a similar problem my car....also a 90 LOL check the linkage cable end bushings my was whoopped and the plastic bushing on the linkage ARM as well I believed its some sort of guide my was broke and it would let me go into gear
 
On here or there's kits to buy also fixed my engagement issues

Sounds like same symptoms I had... and the rollerbearing mod is free if u used to be a woodpusher LOL like me

It could...it worked for me. First couple days car shifted great nice and smooth after setting since 04(2nd owner with 95000) and next it got hard to get into gear then it got where I couldn't do anything. Notice the plastic so called bushing on linkage ARM in two piece..one piece was left other half gone.. replace that as well as the cable link bushings shifted back to normal..
