sounds like the slave cylinder to me, cheap and easy to replace.. Doit yourself.. ofcourse i could be wrong an it could be the clutch master cylinder.. which i doubt.. "could be wrong" but could also be the reason the clutch doesnt go in reverse and possibly "grinding"??

7 times out of 10 the slave goes bad before the master IF they're the same age... more grit oil and grime down there. They should always be replaced in pairs, but few do that.

 

Order of troubleshoting:

 

1) Improperly bled hydraulics

2) Failed slave

3) Failed hose (bulging)

4) Bad replacement master

5) Failure past the slave (fork, throwout, or pressure plate).

 

All the above can cause your symptoms. You can check #5 without cost by making sure the slave is fully retracted, if it isn't, try to move the fork with a pair of vice grips. Should have near zero slop and be difficult to disengage.
