hard to put car in gear

So another minor issue with my Evo

This weekend was the first wet weather of the season, and the first time drive my Evo in wet weather. I need to cross traffic on the freeway to the far lane. When I had a chance I took off from the parking lot and stupid me for got it was wet. So I spun my tire all the way across both lane at 50mph, but still maintaining complete control. It was pretty cool till I came to a stop. I try to put the car in first but I would even budge. So I released the clutch and tried it again. This time it went into gear but not without some force.

Sense saturday every gear is really hard to get into and requires alot of force. Also, when i'm in first gear with the clutch in a stop, the car creeps forward like I was let the clutch out a little. This all started after the wheel spinning so I assume they are connected.

Thanks for the help!

I would try adjusting the clutch pedal rod first.
