The first things to do are to check the fluid level in the trans and then go over the adjustments for the shifter as per the Workshop Manual. If these quick and easy steps won't do it then the trans will be comming out, something is worn or broken inside like a roll pin. Make sure the clutch master and slave aren't leaking and are bled of air completly. Do you still have the origional plastic hose going from the master to the slave? If you do, replace it with a braided steel line.
