Hey wondering if anyone has encountered something similar to the problem I'm having.

First time I noticed a problem was around last week when it began being difficult to put it into second and third gear. I needed to put some force when putting it into gear. Seems to be easier when rev matching and changing down gears.

After that first incident I noticed that when taking off from stand still the car would kind of shudder when trying to engage first gear. Even in reverse there wouldn't be a smooth transition.

Ever since I bought the car I have noticed there would be a faint clutch smell even when driving and changing gears normally.

Anyone know what the problem could be.

Hoping its as simple as the clutch pedal needs to be adjusted or clutch bled. Realistically though its probably the pressure plate.

On a side note, if I do need a clutch kit would you guys suggest OEM or Aftermarket, thinking this one doesn't look too bad for the price:
