Freelander 1 Notchy Gears

Hi
FL1, TD4, 170 miles.
I've noticed my gear changes (all gears) have started to become quite hard, needs an extra shove to engage, could this be clutch related?
I always thought a worn clutch slipped rather than this issue.
Thanks

Usually caused by loss of travel on clutch as the master and slave get older.

Press clutch into carpet and if the gear change improves then worth bleeding the clutch.

As clutch wears out pedal and bite point rise up.

I am pressing it as far down as it'll go.

When was the gearbox oil last changed?
