To answer your question: No. No, that does not sound logical, it sounds insane. Stranger things have happened, I suppose, but I would bet against the "second gear pinion bearings" (there's no such thing as "pinion bearings" on 2nd, but that's beside the point). The point is, you should listen to what you're being told here on the BBS, not that mechanic. It might well be your clutch master or slave cylinder. It might very well be broken motor mounts. It might be that the shift coupler is broken. It might be a combination of one or more of these problems. The last thing I would suspect is transmission bearings. Here are pix if the shift coupler: http://quasimotors.gar.net/couplerpix.htm. Have someone try to select gears while you observe the coupler while looking down from the back of the engine. You should be able to see if it's broken.
Here's how to check the most likely mount problem: http://quasimotors.gar.net/mount%20test.htm Also, look at the torque arm at the rear of the engine compartment, top, passenger's side. See if the rubber bushings are damaged.
As for the hydraulics ... well, check the other stuff first. If the car doesn't creep when the clutch is pushed in, in low gear, at a standstill, and if the clutch doesn't take up very near the floor as you first start to release it, then the hydraulics are probably ok.
And I would find another mechanic if I were you. Not only do I think that guy is wrong, but he's wrong in a very expensive way.
