manual transmission getting difficult to shift
'99 1.8Tqms getting difficult to shift at times. Original clutch, 153K miles. Would it help if I followed the DIY directions to change the transmission gear oil (located here:

i'd start buy checking shifter alignment
then those crap rubber bushings on the shifter arms, throw out bearing, throw out bearing arm, pressure plate...
clutch is more known to go when slipping occurs

nice, you only switched out the clutch? not the pressure plate, or the throw out bearing?
did they re-align the shifter at all, or take a look at the shifter forks?
you know what i'm getting at

shifter cable? or clutch cable? the clutch cable in those golfs is known to be ****
same with mah gti
which probably made a larger difference then your clutch
Fluid makes more sense to me then changing out a clutch.
