Default Hard to engage gears

i have about 73,000 miles on the stock clutch now and it seems second and third are the hardest gears to engage especially when i am downshifing. Sometimes it feels like it goes in gear but then u gotta push it a little further then it goes. Once in gear and floored i feel no clutch slip and clutch seems to be grabbing decently. Is the clutch gunna need to be replaced? is the gears in the tranny starting to go or could i get a firewall adjuster and see if that helps ?
