Default Grinding gears

My car started grinding gears last fall. It started every once in a while and then it started doing it alot so I put it away since it was that time of the year anyways. Well its spring and I want to pull my car out. Is this an issue with bleeding? Could it be the master cylinder? I was gonna order a tick and just swap but they don't ship to canada so it will take a while for me to be able get it. Do you think thiscould just need bled? Or could it be a clutch problem or master cylinder?

Well I decided to get it out of the garage and have someone bleed it. he said it was fine and there was no air in the system. They thought it was the pilot bearing was worn out and was binding and that was what was causing my grinding. On the way there it ground from 1st to 2nd once but was fine. On the way back though it started to grind like crazy and it felt like the clutch wasn't fully disengaging. When I phoned him back thats what he said the pilot bearing would do, it may be fine for a while and then act up for a while. They figured I am looking at getting my transmission rebuilt. Could someone with some expereince with these transmissions please let me know if this sounds right or not.

Thanks

when i had a grinding problem it was my slave, but he is correct, it could be the slave/master/pilot

how did he bleed the clutch? did he do it the old fashioned way, or with a mityvac?
