gears are harder to shift after clutch install
things i've done .. replaced tranny fluid
aligned shifter 3 times..
things to do .. bleed clutch
i really hope bleeding it does the trick.. cause i know my SAC was aligned.. because i dont grind in reverse but its harder to get into
well if you figure it out let me know.. i will too

That's because the differences between th gears are greater. In the case of first, you are engaging it from a standstill. With the higher gears the speed tends to drop to the appropriate amount as you are shifting up and when shifting down, the amount of work the syncro needs to do is less.
So if the clutch is not fully disengaging this will show more in the lower gears.
Of course, if there is a problem with the transmission then it is also more likely to be in the lower gears for all of the same reasons.

gear.
It's bumpy going into 1st or 2nd and then seems to catch, like something is grabbing it a little, when I take it out of those gears.
