Today on my way to work i was at a stop sign and when traffic moved i went to put the car into 1st gear and it wouldnt go in. I tried 2nd 3rd 4th 5th and Reverse and it was like I was locked out off all the gears. I shut the car off and 5 minutes later I started it and it shifted smooth as gravy. Got to work and it wouldn't shift again. My buddy came down while I was working, drove it had the same problem after like10minutes of driving. So now I was pissed. I got off work like 30minutes later and then drove the car home. (25minutes drive) it was already warm and everything and the whole way home the car shifted perfect! This whole thing was out of the blue and im sure the issue is still there. could it be air in the clutch lines, low tranny fluid or what? Take this into consideration too. Around Early January this year I just had a Shep tranny put in with act 2600 clutch and a new slave clyinder. Any input?? I blew my last clutch up, I dont want to do the same with this one....

Today I did manage to take it to a tranny shop since transmissions aren't my speciality what so ever. So I was driving there and one time on the way there it "locked up" and i pumped the clutch and it worked! Sweet right? So I get it there and the guy test drives it and says theres nothing wrong. So im thinking master cylinder going bad maybe the clutch needs bled? Then I go to leave and it wont go in gear so I pump the clutch and nothing, and nothing. When I go to put it in gear I can hear the tranny trying to do something and it just makes like a small squeal kind of? Then I shut the car off put it in 2nd gear started it (clutch pressed in ) , it like jumped forward for just a sec then it idled... and shifted smooth again for the rest of the day.
 
Could be your throwout bearing going bad mine did the samething about 2 weeks ago took at the tranny and the throwout bearing was almost non exsistant. I first thought it was just my syncros going because it would grind a little bit but one night i was driving and lost all my gears couldnt get it to go into any of the gears. Then the bearing finally gave out. It didnt squeel until the day i had to get it towed. Dont know if thats it but it sounds really familier.
