What part is going bad when the clutch is pressed in all the way and I try to shift but the shifter is hard to push into gear. Is this this clutch going out? My clutch pedal still has all of its travel and the clutch is somewhat hard to push in. If I put the car in gear and hold the clutch in and rev it the car wont move. I have the car in gear while holding the clutch the car wont move when revved. I have the new clutch kit but need to be sure its the clutch before I pay a nut to get it installed.
Clutch sounds like it isn't adjusted properly. Mine was like what you describe. Adjust your clutch so that it enguages about 1/2" higher off the floor than it does now. Shifting should improve a lot. While you have the hood popped, inspect your clutch linkage for obvious damage.
