Unhappy Shifting problems

So I got a question for you smart car people
well my Jeep aint shifting right its been doing it for awhile but I went on a longer drive then usual an more freeway goin faster an such an now its worse. It wont go into reverse unless I turn if off an put it in reverse an then start it again sometimes it wont downshift into 2nd or 1st 2 people trying to push it into 1st the other day an it still wouldnt go until I turned it off an then coming home yesterday night it wouldnt go up into 2nd it just made the gear grinding noise so I had to not use 2nd an pop it up into 3rd the whole way we have checked all the fluids an no warning lights are on an other then that its driving great. One person said it might be the slave cyliner or something Im taking it to a shop to be looked at Tuesday but does anybody have any ideas?

So I took it in and they didnt look at it very long hardly at all really and they said it needs an new clutch. Does that sound right to your guys since it still works an is drivable that just doesnt sound right?
