Hard to get in gear

I have a 04 g35 i got a problem with the transmission. Theres times when getting into gears is really hard and i have to use force and pressure to get it into gear. I realized this after i got my clutch changed like less than 5k miles ago! They changed the gearbox fluid. at times getting into gear is really smooth and no problem!! and others out of no where is hard i thought it was due to the fact that i wasnt pressing the clutch all the way in but when i do it still hard. Can you guys help me out??

Are you having trouble with only some gears or all of the gears?

Sometimes I have a little issue putting the car in 1st gear when in full stop, usually after the car is already been driving for a while.

How much is your mileage?

Are you sure it is a transmission problem and not a clutch problem?

Who replaced the clutch and was this clutch OEM or something else?

Where the replacement steps properly followed in the FSM?

http://www.nicoclub.com/service-manu.../Sedan/2004/cl

CLUTCH FLUID
PFP:00017
Bleeding
ACS003LX
CAUTION:

Monitor fluid level in the reservoir tank to make sure it does not empty.

Do not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If it spills, wipe up immediately and wash the
affected area with water.
NOTE:
Do not use a vacuum assist or any other type of power bleeder on this system. Use of vacuum assist or power
bleeder will not purge all the air from the system.
1. Fill the master cylinder reservoir tank with new clutch fluid.
2. Connect a transparent vinyl hose to the air bleeder.
3. Depress the clutch pedal quickly and fully a few times and hold
it.
4. With clutch pedal depressed, open air bleeder.
5. Close air bleeder.
6. Release clutch pedal and wait for 5 seconds.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until no bubbles can be observed in the
brake fluid.
8. Tighten air bleeder to the specified torque. Refer to
CL-11,
"
Removal and Installation




INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

If release bearing is seized, damaged, not properly centered or
does not rotate smoothly, replace it.

If contact surface of withdrawal lever is excessively worn out,
replace it.

If dust cover is cracked or deformed, replace it.
