98 B4000 2wd 5spd hard to shift from a stop

From a dead stop, now most of the time truck is VERY hard to get into any gear. Has to be force but no grinding sound. When moving truck has perfect shifiting feel and NO grinding. Problem only when car is stopped. Once is does force into gear there is no creeping in 1st wtih clutch pedeal pressesd and there is decent pedal play before clutch catches.



Has new clutch, slave and master (put in 1.5 years ago).



Pilot bearing ? Syncros ?


I know it doesn't make sense especially with all the conditions as you described but I'd still start by bleeding clutch.
