It seems to have lost slight power overall.
Also, before the car driven for a couple miles shifting into 1st and 2nd is difficult without letting rpms drop below 1000. It feels almost what I would imagine is grinding gears but doesn't sound like it. And once its warmed up it shifts fine. Any ideas what could cause this? or maybe its normal, but it didnt do that when i first got. Maybe it could be the pedal needs adjusting cause its not "opening" the clutch all the way. thats all i can think of. If it is then how do you adjust the pedal?

I would have an experienced stickshift driver drive it. There may not be a problem.
