2005 ep3 clutch

hi all, struggling to go into gears mainly with 2nd and 3rd but happens with all 6 , if i struggle with a gear i re apply the clutch then its fine. also if i take my time pressing the clutch an changing gear the problem doesnt happen. there is no slipping on the clutch at all. wondering wether it could be something to do with the clutch, oil or gearbox?

any help please?

What is the mileage?

Difficulty in engaging gears during hard driving is a sign of clutch wear.

Sounds like exactly what I had - heavy pedal, hard to get into gear when accelerating at high revs, but if you leave the clutch in a second or two before going into the next gear up then it's fine.

I got a new clutch and it's sweet as a nut now, such a pleasure to drive.
