Default 5sp transmision does not want to go into gear

yesterday replaced my old clutch with a brand new Exedy stage 1 clutch, new master and slave cylinders and bled the clutch as well......It worked fine after everything was installed and drove it for a couple of hours with no problems..........today, the gears were going in smoothly until i started noticing that the gears were starting to get harder to go in, up until i couldnt shift at all i have a '97 Prelude base with a jdm H22a......could i possibly still have some air in the system? any imput guys?? thanks

Does it go into gear with the car off? If it does you then have something wrong with the clutch, or the clutch system. If it doesnt want to go into gear with the car off then you have a problem with the tranny.

I found out that the gears only go in if the clutch pedal is not fully pressed, i have to depress it just a bit for the gears to go in. If i press the pedal all the way in it wont go into gear. :/ Gears go in smoothly and quietly tho, maybe some pedal adjustment?
btw: my prelude used to be an auto....i made the H22a swap with the 5sp trans, got all the parts needed for the swap directly from honda.

As you said, it sounds like you need to adjust your pedal
