Need help with clutch problem

I changed the clutch out on my 1987 Bronco 2. The problem is It will not shift. If I put it in first gear there is no way to get it out of the gear once the vehicle has been cranked. Turn the truck off and I can shift it. I put a new slave cylinder ,clutch, throwout bearing and pressure plate in it. I also removed the sleeve because mine was a 2 piece throwout bearing and the one i put in is a one piece. I have taken the transmission out 4 times does anyone have any ideas?

When I did my clutch this winter, I had the same problem until I got the clutch well bled. Are you getting it bled?

Thanks for the reply mrshorty. I thought I had it well bled. However after reading hours on clutch bleeding that may be my problem. I know the process of bleeding. I used a bleed kit as well. How did you bleed your clutch. Maybe you have a method I havent tried yet.

Basically I did mine just like bleeding brakes. Have assistant push on pedal, open bleeder valve, close bleeder valve, release pedal, repeat until fluid flows clean and clear. It took quite a bit of fluid to do, and the bleeder screw was clogged with road grime when I first started, so I had to take it out to clean it.
