2001 Saturn SC1 4 cyl 82000 miles

I have been able to put the clutch into gear but when I mix the gas with the clutch it grinds like it is starting to bit but then stopping.

When I went out today the problem was worse. The car didn't want to go into gear at all.

Do you think I need a new clutch or is something else wrong?

The pedal is staying firm and the clutch grinds
