About to rip my hair out! HELP!

Ok this is starting to p*ss me off. A couple weeks ago my car all of a sudden wouldn't shift into any gear. So I pulled the tranny and found that one of the springs blew out of the clutch disc (spec stage III) .

So I got a new disc and installed it. Still couldn't shift into any gear. So I bought a new slave/master and installed it. Still couldn't shift into gear. So we pulled the tranny again last night (4th time this year) and found that one of the 3 tabs on the throw out bearing was bent. So I used the throw out bearing from the stock clutch that was worn out. Presto! It works. So I'm out driving around last night and everything is fine, now today, I drive for a little while and guess what, I can't shift again, unless I force it. Its like the clutch isn't disengaging fully.

When the clutch pedal is pushed all the way to the floor and its in gear and running the clutch is trying to grab, but if I let the pedal up about 1" it stops. What does this sound like it could be? I installed the new clutch hydralics yesterday, do you think they are full of air? Please any help would be appreciated, I don't want to pull the tranny for the 5th time in 4 months!

you could have possibly bent the clutch fork.. i had that problem w/ the SPEC clutches along w/a few others i just unloaded it for a really cheap price and bought a mcleod.. never looked back since.. Never put a worn out piece back in either.. If you all the way to wher eyou can replace it.. better go new rather than leave a point for failure.. easier the first time.. sounds like you have a hyd. problem but you did replace them.. So i'd check and make sure you have plenty of fluid in the slave.. From the description of you putting it to the floor and then letting up its almsot like the slave is over extendin. i dunno.. double check everyting..
