clutch pedal question helpp

i drive a 06 MR

have about 13k on the odometer and never changed the tanny fluid..
never raced or tracked.. regular normal driving
recently it have gotten a bit more notchy shifting from 1st to 2nd on slow shifts....
any ideas on how to solve this?
would changing the fluid solve this?
i've heard of adjusting the clutch pedal but i dunno..
would that solve it?
which way do i adjust it?

help?

Look no further than the "how to" section.

Then it's normal, nothing to worry about.

not really... he said it's been normal driving so the fluid should be ok, I think it's due to the temperature drop

Do you feel a grind or is it notchy when cold? After the trans is warmed up do you still have these issues?

As the clutch gets worn it will need adjusting so you can first try that. Then let the trans fluid warm up before you get on it. Grinding is never a good sign though. If after you adjust it it still grinds you can try changing the fluid. If none of those work you might eventually be looking at a rebuild.
