Anyone else hate intermittent problems?

I hate problems that come and go... Someone needs to invent "Gremlin B Gone". Anyways, I've got a couple ideas, but I wanted to run it by some of you guys n' gals to see if I'm even in the right ball park:
- Whining noise when in 1st or 2nd gear, when clutch is either engaged, or disengaged, only when slowing down - no noise during acceleration. No noise in neutral.
- Here's the intermittent part: Every once in a while, I'll need to pump the clutch a couple times to be able to shift into Reverse. Never happens on 1-5, all other shifting is normal. I can't seem to find a correlation to temperature, engine temp, or anything for this reverse oddity.
Last mechanic to take the car for a test ride said the clutch was slipping, but he was lying because these is no slip at all, in any gear.
I'm thinking pilot bearing or TOB... any other ideas?
Thanks everyone!
