Ok last night i moved my car so we could make room in my driveway. I wake up to go to work at 5 this morning and it goes in reverse fine. I back out and everything seems normal just another early a## morning if you know what i mean. Try to put it into first and i get absolutly nothing. It won't go in and im like ohh sh#t there is a car coming and im stuck in the middle of the damn road. Well i just push it against the gear to get it back in the driveway. I look at the clutch fliud and i was alittle low. I went to the only store in the area with my girls car to get some brake fluid. Get home and try to bleed it and the first time i got alittle air. did it 5 more times and straight fluid. I have been searching for like 3 hours on some options but i havent found anyone having instant clutch disengagement problems. Anyone got any ideas. Clutch was redone about a year ago and i did end up using their tob. Could it be that. Had no signs of problems.

Just called shep trans and he said it is possibly crank walk?? this is not to good ehh. overnight all this happens to me.
 
Well the first thing I would check is the shift cables. Get someone in the car to move the shifter through the gears while you watch the cable ends. Maybe on of the pins came off and is not holding the cable on well.
 
Well do you think that effect both directions of me trying to shift
 
Yes it could. I really don't forsee crankwalk happening overnight. If you double check the cables and thier fine possibly a slave cylinder, but i think it's your cables. You could possibly try an extended rod for the slave as well. Oh, and check your bushings at the cable ends as well.
