1st Gear Shift

What would cause a difficult shift into 1st? What started as an inconvenience has gotten so bad that I have to shift to 2nd first then shift into 1st at a red light. Is this a clutch or transmission problem? Isn't it time for a clutch replacement anyways being @ 60K?

zzzzzzzzzzz :o Sorry. I was asleep. I just saw the post.

The hard shift is not clutch related. Try switching to a synthetic ATF or what I have done is go to Redline MTL fluid. You should notice an easier shift into 1st.
