My car will not go into gear unless its started and already in gear. Ill pull it outta gear and won't go back in while running.

It will probably be way to much unimportant ramble but here I go. about 9 months ago, i went to pull out of a friends driveway and onto a really busy road ( on a corner too. ) I'm turning left so I was still in the oncoming lane and go to shift into 2cd and It was hard to get out of 1st. So instant panic mode, tried all gears finally getting it into 3rd.I drove in 3rd 2 miles home. (This next part don't matter I'm sure but I am blaming my boyfriend, so I'm throwing it in!) I don't drive my car more than a 20 miles a day and have had it about 3 1/2 years. But the last 18 or more months, My boyfriend would drive it approx. 200 miles. everyday. (his truck gets bad gas mileage? Now that I got that off my chest, I had no problem letting it sit there and rest for a week saying the clutch went out. I should mention Since I bouight it over 4 years ago, I would hear a little whistling noise until I put even just a little pressure on the clutch pedal. ( I assumed it was a throw out bearing) I don't remember hearing that the last few months. Anyway , after letting it sit that week, It popped into my head, how could I not think to check the fluid. A friend of mine was here, checking it and it was empty so he put fluid that was behind his seat. which I was told you are supposed to use fresh and wipe the lid each time you check it. But it was fixed for about 6 m. We were at Walmart and it wouldn't go into reverse so I bought fluid and opened the cap up on what I thought this whole time was the refill for the clutch so I filled it and it made it home. I kept checking and filling it up . Then it started hard shifting but I usually can always get it in 3rd. I read and read on lime and in my books what could be a quick fix, over a mo. ago started trying to bleed it myself and make my 11year old push in the clutch for me . I was doing it kind of right I thought and kept checking the fluid and it wasn't loosing any it was still filled all the way to the top but I would get a lot out of everytime I opened the slave cyl. bleeder valve. In the past my friend would bleed it and it helped but now that I was doing it, It was now getting worse, I drove it about 20 miles to and from my parents house several times in 3rd. Or if there was a cop by the stop sign or to get it in reverse I shut my car off to shift into the gear and back off and change the gear and back on . Sometimes after it would get worm that it would shift easy. Come to find out it was the master cyl. I was checking so I finally checked the 1 in the corner with no writing on it and iot was bone dry. And the plastic looked dirty. I put fluid in it, my dad blead it and it was good 4 a few days . then it started getting bad, I would start my car and it would lung forward or back I kept looking for leeks or problems under the hood and I seen that there was a little black rubber washer (or something) that was on loosely this thing that moved everytime my daughter shifted to a gear. I will now let you take all of this in and let you ponder why you told me to explain away.

Sounds like you need to replace the entire master clutch slave cylinder assy & possibly the throw bearing if it is somehow part of the complete assy for the clutch to work correctly Sounds like you need to replace the entire master clutch slave cylinder assy & possibly the throw bearing if it is somehow part of the complete assy for the clutch to work correctly
