Default 4 Speed 88 Civic 1.5 DX

Hey guys I've got some problems with my tranny/clutch, not really sure yet, perhaps you guys can help!
I have a ZC DOHC w/ my orgional 4 speed, I replaced the clutch at about 105 thousand miles. A little over a year later I put the ZC in, no problems shifting untill now @ 135,000

So here's what it does: Putting the car into 1st & 2nd is a biotch (clutch is all thioe way down and I have to JAM it into gear) 3rd pops & grinds a wee bit, 4ta bh no problems there, R grinds

Driving arround the streets I find it easier to keep the car in 2nd, if I put the car in nuetral at a light its a major biotch all over again

So new clutch?...perhaps the ZC beat the crap out of the stock clutch?
let me know thanks!

I would check...

1 - fluid in the transmission.
2 - shift linkage
3 - adjust clutch cable

in that order.
