Assuming that you have checked the fluid level what you describe is not
good news.
If the fluid level is down then air in the system is a distinct possibility
however, if there is no air in the system, then a problem with the clutch
itself is the most likely cause.
I presume that it grinds somewhat as you try to engage reverse which is not
"syncronized" on the Toyota 5 speed as I recall.
