I'm getting a little crunching in my gears, usually when changing down. Also, when I apply the clutch, I have to give it a little extra push to get it to the floor; like there are two levels if you will.
Are the two related and am I looking at a clutch adjustment (I sure hope so), or is it a gearbox issue (I sure hope not)?

When you're stationary, does it go in to gear OK also what is it like to go in to reverse gear? Does it just go in or does it grind in?

Can be a little difficult sometimes when stationary to get into first, reverse isn't usually a problem, not so much a grind going in.

Mmmmm........sounds......grind.......like......crunch.......clutch........

Could be the hydraulics or the arm / thrust bearing or even something as simple as adjustment.

Have a well endowed redhead lady assistant push your clutch (then she can come push mine :) ) while you watch....your clutch arm that is. See how mutch it moves. The second stage that you are talking about could be where the free movement ends and it actually starts taking up. The free movement should be taken up by adjustment.
