Default 4.9 w/ clutch problems

I'm having a hard time getting my truck in gear when the engine is running. It doesn't seem like the gears are separating enough to get into gear. I have a hydraulic clutch and I bled it it seemed to help a little but do I need to change something else?

Also if I turn the truck off it will slip into gear very easy.

Default hydrolich clutch

i replaced the slave cylinder and im still having trouble bled it and finally got clean fluid. the master was replaced also . but the pedal is still to the floor. been looking at the assembly cant find anything wrong. got this neutral switch on the rod but the clip is broken put a couple of twist ties to hold it on to ride on the shaft .and have to short the selinoid to start it . why it wont build up pressure is the a vacuum hook up somewhere?

You just gravity bleed it till a stream of fluid comes out on the bleeder, close the bleeder, fill. the reservoir and keep pumping. Sometimes it just takes a while.
