Lightbulb Help: Sometimes Won't Go Into Gear With Clutch Pressed

What is going on when sometime I press the clutch and don't go in to gear sometimes?
I know one reason maybe the pressure plate but can it be the clutch or the transmission? What is happening, any reason, what I need to fix to get it back to normal.

Have somebody press your clutch in and check to see if it's extending. Should be a couple inches (or thereabouts).

Does your fluid ever go low? If not, you might just need to bleed it or something. mine had a leak that i couldnt find, my fluid would be gone after two days. It turned out to be the master cyl, but it was leaking into the INSIDE of the car, so i couldnt see the leak. Even on the inside you couldnt tell, the carpet padding soaked it up completely.
