Question Having Trouble With My Clutch

My 1995 Cherokee doesn't seem to want to shift. I will be in a parking spot and I will attempt to back out, but when I try to put it into reverse, it grinds, obviously I immediately stop trying to shift it. I have to do this about three to four times before it will fully go into reverse. I seem to have the same problems when downshifting also. It does not seem to have a problem shifting up, unless I am fully stopped, then it does not like to shift into first to take off, I have to pump the clutch almost and also have to really push on the clutch. I am not very technically inclined, so if you could help, that would be awesome. Thanks

Fluid to spec? If so either the clutch master or slave or both kaput.

The transmission fluid was just replaced about a month ago, so I don't imagine it's that, if it is the clutch master or the slave, how much would it be to replace it?

Turns out it was just low fluid in the slave cylinder, completely fine now, thanks!

Fluid does not just get low. Theres a leak check above ds fuse box for fluid . If it wet replace it cause it will eat fuse box up.
