Accord 4cyl 5speed won't shift. 124,000 miles

The clutch slave cylinder was going out, so I purhcased a new Clutch
Master Cylinder, Slave Cylinder and the line from Honda. I installed
them and the car ran fine for about a week. The cylinders are holding
pressure and fully extending the clutch arm. Now the car doesn't want
to go into any gear. If I turn the car off, I can change gears, when
the car is running and in gear with the clutch pressed to the floor the
car doesn't leach forward or give signs of the cylinders slipping. I
suspect the clutch disc is worn and needs replacing. What is your
opinion.

sounds like the clutch diaphragm is sticking to the drive pinion so it
won't release from the flywheel properly. may as well replace the
clutch being as you have to disassemble to fix it. but before you do,
bleed the hydraulic clutch system one more time to be certain there's no
air in the system.

Problem Fixed,

I adjusted the part that screws onto the clutch master cylinder and
attaches to the clutch pedal. I'm not for sure why the clutch worked
the first week and then didn't but after adjusting the part and giving
the clutch master cylinder more travel the car shifts fine. Thanks for
the help.
