Nissan truck Clutch problems Sign In

Pretty general question here. Looking for some advice that could save me some $
I drive a 2001 nissan frontier 5 spd. 93K miles and the clutch is starting to go. I have to shift it at under 3000 rpm or it grinds, even with the clutch all the way in. I usually rev it to about 4000, push in the clutch, and wait till the revs drop to around 3000 and then shift. If I dont wait, it grinds pretty bad. This isnt a huge problem except when accelerating from a stoplight or something, i have to go reeeeeally slow.
my question is... what's the problem? Do i need a whole new clutch set up? or is there a quick fix? i'm just looking for some suggestions so when i take it in to the mechanic, i can sound like i know a little bit about what's going on... THANKS

This is probably a hydraulic linkage and that is the likely problem - like shifting without pushing the clutch at all?? Bleed it out and or find why it is behaving as if the clutch is not disengaging. Probably a leak, or there is a master cylinder, line/hose and slave cylinder involved,
