Default hard to shift gears.

my friend has an 00 s2k and just recently after the tranny fluid has been changed, it is hard to get into gears, at a dead stop its smooth but as soon as u start rolling it alot harder, it doesnt grind but u got to force it in, do u think the pressure plate is getting weak now? the car gas 40k miles on it, so it might be time for a new clutch, let me know if anybody had this problem, thanks

Assuming that the tranny fluid was the correct weight, it could be due to clutch wear or synchro wear (from skipping gears).
