Re: Hard to Change 2-3?
quote: it's been hard getting out of 2nd when heading into 3rd.
Normally, I'd suspect that worn synchro's would give that particular symptom, but at 74K Km (assuming no collisions) the gearbox should be perfect.
If, as you say that it is hard to get OUT of second, but there is no mention of difficulty in engaging 3rd, then I'd be looking at the selectors (shift linkages).
Usually a damaged synchro ring gives a crunch when changing gear, so hopefully it is not that.
Following your logic, if the clutch was the cause then it should cause problems in all gears and by design the clutch is there to ease entry into the next gear, not facilitate the exit from the one you are leaving.
i.e. one can usually flip into neutral with a manual box without issue, but to engage the next gear without a crunch, requires either a clutch or a very good sense of rev's and timing.
I'm not saying the selectors are the problem but it's probably a good place to start looking for the source of the problem.
I prefer to work from the simple/cheap remedy end, rather than work backwards from the expensive end.

Re: Hard to Change 2-3?
Is it still in warranty?
Have you previously reported it to a dealer, if so what was the result?
Even if the warranty has expired, if it was reported before expiry and it wasn't rectified/properly diagnosed, it should be covered.
