I really feel like clutch drag. Did you replace or resurface your flywheel??? That is related to the post before mine concerning the step height. Did you try rev matching with shifts to see if it goes into or comes out of gear easier. Kormex is correct in how does it shift if the car is off?? Will it go into first gear every time with the car off. Park on level ground, put the ebarake on and try shifting with the engine off. If it is much easier, I would say with 99.9% certainty you have a CLUTCH issue. What type of clutch is in there? What type of flywheel? Did you mess with the freeplay adjustment under the dash by the pedal. The adjustment is right in the service manual. However if you do it too much or wrong your clutch can slip. I wouldn't say the clutch in our cars in rocket science, however CARE must be taken. Check this stuff.
