my transmission just stopped letting me go into pretty much every gear from neutral with the car running. never made any noise or anything. sometimes I can pop it into random gears, but usually not. It does this in every gear.

I changed the master and slave cylinders and it didn't help, the clutch only had about 100 miles on it, it was just a duralast autozone clutch.

I usually don't use shops but I had no clue what to do so I took it to the mechanic I use when I don't know what else to do, and he said that it may be the transmission.

but I really don't think that all of my synchros would go out at the same time and never grind or anything. I think the clutch just died or something and it's not disengaging completely.

goes into every gear easy with the car off. and shifted smooth as butter before it out of nowhere stopped letting me get into gear.

and I've bled the CRAP out of it.

thoughts?
 
Did you adjust the master when you put in the new clutch? If you didn't adjust it, it may not be able to disengage.
 
Did the synchro test, synchros are good. the rpms dropped slightly.

Yes, I adjusted the master cylinder. and the clutch engages like 4 inches off the floor, so shouldn't the disengagement point be close to that?

I am low on fluid, could that cause my problem by chance?

If the fluid is low, it seems like the first thing I would have done is make sure it is full.
What kind of fluid is in it?
You should be running Mopar NV-T350 trans axle fluid.
