Default Something's seriousely wrong with my car...

Alright I got out of work one day and got into my car. Turned it on and I noticed that the clutch was starting to stick a little bit to the floor. Sometimes it would stay down and I'd have to pull it up wit' my shoe and other times it would come up within a few seconds. Anyways, I pushed the clutch down and tried to shift into reverse. All of the sudden there was a loud *** grindin' noise. So I stopped and tried again. Same loud noise. I was really in a hurry so I pulled back into reverse really hard and my car shook but it went into gear. I backed out and drove home but the entire time my clutch was sticking... Is my transmission goin' out? What's goin' on can ya'll help me out?

It should be on top of the clutch master cylinder.

it is next to your brake fluid resevoir... like if you are facing your car from the front it is in the top right corner of the engine bay, near the firewall.....

First check for leaks as stated above.
Then bleed your clutch slave cyl.
