Default clutch/gearbox problems... help

right, ive got my car back together but am having some issues with the clutch/gearbox.

ive got a cossie engine on a renault box, with a std ap/motorcraft cover and ap 6 paddle centre plate, hydraulic system thats been pressure bled about a thousand times. gearbox oil is new redline lightweight shockproof oil,

i cant change gear
cant even get it in gear in the garage

with the engine off i can choose all gears,
with the engine on if i press the clutch then go for any gear, it really doesnt wanna go in, can force it but it grinds and then jumps in gear, but once its in gear the biting point is as it should and it lets me pull away as i should but when i go to change out of gear to go for 2nd it doesnt wanna come out of gear.

if i put it in gear with the engine off then start it with my foot on the clutch it starts fine, then works as it should when i release the clutch.

if i start it in gear with no foot on the clutch it jumps forward.

the clutch fork moves when the pedal goes down, about 1/2 inch, as it should.


im lost.
any1 got any ideas?
