Rust on the transmission input shaft.

Rust on the transmission input shaft.
So after a lot of searching regreasing my shifter, changing all the fluids, and getting a new master cylinder I think I have finally pinpointed my hard shifting as what other people describe as the clutch plate is dragging due to rust on the transmission input shaft. I would say the feeling as I put it into gear is a popping as it moves the clutch off from the difference in speed. Now my question is what can I do to remedy this problem or am I just S.O.L. and need to drop the transmission to regrease it at which point I might as well get a new clutch. I have a 04 S with 92,000 miles on it. Thanks for any advice guys!

You might start with greasing the release fork and see if that improves anything. unbolt the slave cylinder, pull the release fork as far out as you can, and use your fingers to grease up the two "fingers" on the fork. Re-install and try it.
Otherwise yes, gotta pull the tranny to grease up the splines.

Very common. If clutch rod is adjusted PROPERLY, clutch fluid is clean, there is no air in the system, slave and master are good (they usually are ok) then this is your problem.

I have this problem as well. Kind of blows my mind that it didn't come with grease on it from the factory. Probably won't get fixed until my clutch gets replaced.
