Tranny/Clutch Question

My car has 89k on it, with original clutch. The pedal is stiff and it started to queek too. Also changing gears is very vague, and the shifter is wobly. You can change from 3rd to 4th and back with one finger, apply almost no pressure.
I've driven my friend's 98. His pedal is waaay lighter and shifting is much more precise. Feels like a totally different car.
Is it time to replace my clutch? Doesn't seem like it's slipping, but it's very unpleasent in comparison. Also, would it help with the shifting at all?

It also may be that your return spring has slightly "unsprung" (my Physics teacher technical words) over time. It may not necessarily be the clutch, but it may be the pressure disk is wearing out. It can be a multitude of things to be honest with you. But since you have that many miles, maybe it is time for a new clutch anyways with Redline fluid...
