I was having trouble shifting so put in new clutch, flywheel throwout bearing and new master/slave cylinder pre-bled system, now it still is hard to get into first gear and fourth grinds etc even after pumping clutch several times, so could I have a bad hydralic system or how do I pinpoint it to transmission perhaps synchronizer or what do you think?

Everything new -dunno about the pressure plate if its replaced-if so and the free play and pedal adjusted properly-you could be right on the synchronizers and other internal components of the transmission

Just to add to this one if you put in a sealed all ready assembled clutch master with slave you good there. There isnt any adustment on that clutch pedal. Did you replace the pressure plate?If not you should have the fingers on those get worn and become uneven. So the whole clutch doesnt release completly.

Before you replace your clutch its a good idea to see how the clutch works and the symptoms of a bad clutch. A clutch will have problems and can stop working all together...
