On the clutch question, I have a few ideas. It might be your shifting/driving style and you are not keeping the clutch pedal compressed enough as you're going to second gear. It could be a bit of cable stretch and adjusting the shift cable may help some. It could also be your synchro for 2nd is starting to go out. The synchro basically prepares the the next gear you select by matching the rpms of those gears. Think about two gears meshing together spinng the same speeds, then imagine two gear meshing together and one is spinning a whole lot faster than the other( you get grindage.)
