Exclamation 2.3 5 speed transmission won't go into gear half of the time! Please help me out

Hey ranger lovers I just joined here because I just bought a nice ranger it just has a couple issues. Mines a 1993 with 2.3 liter and 5 speed tranny. When it's running and in neutral with the clutch all the way in it really doesn't want to go into gear. I can Jam it in but it defiantly grinds or makes some kind of noise. The clutch reservoir ie 3/4 full, clutch feels fine but I'm going to bleed the slave, transmission has a very small leak but the fluid is almost full. The weird thing is that sometimes it is absolutely fine but most of the time it's bad. I just bought it and it was fine when I bought it. All it has done is sit in a garage because it's not on the road yet so I've pulled it in and out a few times but I don't know how it shifts through all the gears.", just from a stop. I'm 17 and on a budget so and simple things I could try would be greatly appreciated!!

Just had a similar problem on my 99. it could be the bracket which holds onto the top of the clutch pedal. Look at the pedal and follow it up to where it attaches to the bracket.
