The car is an 05 GT with 90,000 miles. Basically when I'm driving hard and shifting at over 5000rpm it is very hard to shift into the next gear, I have to forcibly put it in gear making quick shifts nearly impossible. Also after coming to a stop after driving hard it is extremely hard to put the car in any gear including reverse. On top of that when I redline the car with it in gear with the clutch fully depressed it will move forward (or backward if I'm in reverse) a foot or so.

Right now I'm thinking my clutch needs to be bled. Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Worn clutch assembly. At 90k miles on the original clutch it's probably near the end of its life.

Should I get a new clutch or start with the slave/master cylinder?

New clutch assembly, slave cylinder, pilot bearing, and a braided stainless steel clutch line.

Definitely the clutch. It's not releasing.
