Manual transmission won't engage Sign In

I recently had a new clutch, slave cylinder and master cylinder installed on my 2001 Ford Ranger. The flywheel was also machined. Two weeks later the original symptoms appeared again, namely difficulty in engaging gears. They bled the lines and it worked for another 2 weeks. This time they replaced the master cylinder. Now two weeks later the problems arose again. It is an intermittent problem usually occurring at first start up in the morning and after extended highway usage. Sometimes in order to engage I have to turn the truck off and then it slides easily into gear. Any ideas?

The problem could be in the trans itself....need to check the oil level...I think by removing the speed gear...not too sure on that one, if thats ok then need to check for leaks and adjustments on brake pedal......also there could have got some trash in the lines too, and last thing there is a certain procedure to bleeding a master cylinder when installing.

Make sure the proper oil was used in the transmission; most of the Rangers take automatic transmission fluid (Mercon).
