I have a 1996 s10 with a 5 speed in it and I have replaced all the clutch parts including the slave cylinder and this started before I changed it which is why I was changing it but I can’t shift gears easily anymore after I did all the work it drove great for a few days and then it started doing it again it has a hydraulic slave cylinder and I’m thinking that my master cylinder is my problem but before I do that does anyone have any ideas?

If you can shift the 5 speed easily when the engine is off using the clutch but not when the engine is running… yes, it is the clutch master.

I learned to have plenty of brake fluid handy when bleeding those clutches.
