Default Trouble shifting gears while driving..HELP!

Hey everyone, I know it says I'm a trial user..SUCKS! hahah I was on here before but my SN was Dc4me. Had a lot of posts and was here for over a yr with buys and sells. But I forgot my pw and H-T sent me a new SN and PW not just the PW for my old SN.. Well back to the story before everyone tells me to search. I am having a problem with shifting gears. At idle I can go through all the gears with ease. When I start to drive it's hard for me to take the gear outta first and into second and even hard to get the gear into second. This is happening through all my gears. I've searched and people have said slave, or master cylinder.. Well I've changed both already and bleed the system and still the same problem. I have pedal pressure but just trouble shifting. I've already checked my tranny fluid and it is full. I need some help with this TIA!

More then probable that your clutch is going out, when was it last changed?

I've had it happen to me twice, real tough gears, both times it was the clutch.

I've never changed my clutch at all. It has 133 thousand miles, and it's never been replaced. I guess I'll just buy a new clutch. Should I have to buy a new flywheel too? JW I'll just change the clutch out myself. Lmk if there is anything else I need. Thanks for the help!

--- your syncros in the trans could be going bad. try double clutching to see if that works.

It just started happening in one day. It seems like the clutch delays engagment and disengagment. So syncros or clutch??

I was going to say it could be clutch drag. IE: when there's fluid residue on the disc, it'll delay (drag) the disc. Just wondering... did the mechanic mention this as a problem?

..First replacement was at 140-150k of the stock clutch,
the time after that was from running an OEM replacement on boost.

If you can get a new flywheel with a clutch package, then go for it,
otherwise try to get your stock on resurfaced for the new clutch.
