Initially gears 2-6 went into gear very roughly then wouldn't engage thereafter. Again, the gears shifted fine with the car off. Obviously I'm not happy with the results. Anything else I can do or check before the clutch has to be inspected?? If anyone has any insight on what is occurring since the new slave cylinder didn't fix the problem it would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

What happens if you put it in second gear, start it with clutch depressed, then let off brake with clutch still depressed (on flat ground)?

Does the car try to creep forward at all (is the clutch grabbing at all with the pedal fully depressed, in gear and running)?
