Per Lucky94: now ive done a bit of searching and i cant firgure out exactly what is goin on. When i go to shift, my clutch engages only when its pressed against the floor....and sometimes..but not always it grinds any ways when its against the floor. So i take it to my friends dads house who is a mechanic and he says well theres your problem, the slave cylender is empty, so we fill it...no change so he says to bleed the clutch and then fill it. so we do and still no change.so he says i need a new clutch but hes not completly sure either. its gettin to the point when i almost always grind gears on the downshift but there are times when ill be complety stopped, clutch to the floor and it wont go into any gear at all and i have to push really hard to get it to go into any gear. any ideas what the deal is? thanks for any input.

A friend of mine is having the exact same problem, but I have no idea what it could be, any ideas.
 
Check your master cylinder and see if that is not leaking. That could be the root of your problem. Also make sure there is no fluid inside the slave cylinder boot if so, your slave clyinder is dead. Make sure you bleed the system also.

You may just need to adjust your master clyinder rod, which is located on the clutch pedal.
