clutch cylinder or realease bearing, not going into gear?
A couple times before vacation it seemed hard to go into gear. I come back after a week, start it and it won't go into gear, just grinds even after pumping it. When the car is off it will go into any gear.
My first guess was master cylinder, or fluid low or something. Pulled off the intercooler. Fluid was full and clean, lines looked good, pumping the clutch moved the lever everything seemed normal. Decided to bleed the clutch according to the manual I have, pump hold method. Well it won't come back off the floor, I first thought cylinder was bad but then heard about some cars need vacuum bleed or pressure. Is that usually an issue with a WRX? Is that the problem with the gears too, or whats the problem with it not going into gear?

Your gear selection problem is very likely due to the clutch rotating assembly being stuck to the flywheel -- pressing the clutch pedal is not actually disengaging your clutch from the flywheel. This can happen in humid/rainy climates after a few days of sitting.
Once you solve your clutch hydraulics problem, try free-revving the car a few times to 5000RPM and see if it unsticks. It worked for me.

I can't tell you what you did when you bled the clutch line.
Your gear selection problem is very likely due to the clutch rotating assembly being stuck to the flywheel -- pressing the clutch pedal is not actually disengaging your clutch from the flywheel. This can happen in humid/rainy climates after a few days of sitting.
