Just picked up a 1992 2.0L honda accord for 700$ the other day from a local owner. Drove fine, and everything looked fine, but yesterday It has had problems getting into gear (It's a Manual)

For the whole day, It just wouldn't shift into gear. With the clutch fully depressed, when I attempt to put it in gear it just makes a loud grinding noise and refuses to lock into any gear. Then Today It works fine for no reason...

Any suggestions for figuring this one out?

Previous owner said it might be the clutch master/slave cylinder. Would this make sense?

 

you can OPEN THE HOOD and check the clutch master reservoir and see if there is any fluid in it, also dash dive and look for leakage, under the steering column, where the clutch push rod goes thru the fire wall.
