The car is a 00 Civic hatchback. I was having intermittent problems shifting for a few weeks now and didn't really get a chance to take a look t it. Yesterday the car decided it wouldn't go into gear at all. Luckily I was at work so I was stuck anywhere. I went down to autozone and bought fluid to do a flush, and that didn't help. Next I changed out the slave cylinder and still nothing after bleeding the system again. I changed out the master as well, figuring it could be that. Re-bled the system again and still nothing. I notice that the car would go in gear while it is turned off but not while started. And I also noticed that the shift fork that goes to the slave cylinder and the transmission is only moving about 1/2 inch.

Any ideas on what the problem could be or how to fix it?

i got it home last night by rev matching it, and turning the car off at red lights, so now i'm thinking either the throw out bearing or a flywheel bolt backed it self out.

believe it or not one of the bolts for the clutch pedal was missing. the one that is all the way up on top where it connects to the body was missing so after time the pedal just shifted. I put a bolt in there and the problem went away. The hatch was an automatic and I converted it to manual, built up a d series motor and threw it into the car. Nothing special, just a little bit more than what I had
