**UPDATE**

For anyone following, I dropped the trans and the pilot bearing was on its way out with missing bearings. I replaced it with a bushing as well as replaced the throwout bearing and put it all back together which solved my problem.

As the title says..with the engine running, clutch in, shifter doesnt row as easy, reverse needs force and a couple tries before going. Engine off, clutch pushed in, no issues at all, nice and smooth. My fluid in the reservoir was full but dirty, I tried bleeding it first with no difference so I got a new slave cylinder as it made sense to what I read. Completely bled and the issue is not much better. This probably points to my master but is there any way to test it before I waste effort? I assumed the slave would go first but my experience is limited. What are your thoughts?
