clunky shifting
Im noticing that its getting harder to push my shifter into gear than it used to be. I have bled my clutch a few times because I had issues with it as well, but now its just becoming more difficult to pull from 1st to 2nd and push from 2nd to 3rd. Any suggestions?

This may be hard to grasp as a question but maybe someone near you can interpret it....
How much play do you have in your clutch pedal... From spring to pressure plate?
To test how much "play" you have use a finger or two to press down on it, you should NOT be able to press it down more than 1 inch w/ your finger(s).
If you do, then my next question is... When was the last time you serviced the hydraulic system? Just bleeding won't do if there's a leak or a bad seal somewhere... You should check the color of the fluid, sometimes a bad seal will leave dark looking brake fluid.
