It's hard to put the shift into first gear, and the clutch is slow to engage in first gear. The other gears seem fine. Do I need a new clutch, a new transmission, a new car, or a new driver?

Hi Refoyl,

What do you mean by slow to engage? You mean you have to lift the pedal very high before it catches? If yes, the clutch is failing and be prepared for the worse.
