Have you checked the fluid levels? Bled the system? I don't think that would really matter, considering it is involving one gear though.

Sometimes the synchronizers will wear out, which help with the ease of shifting into certain gears.(Each gear has a synchro.) Usually when they wear out you will have some grinding when going into whichever gear. If you ease it in very gently does it do it?

I've never heard of them making it hard to downshift, but it could also be a side effect.

Sounds like wheel bearings.

Sounds like you're barely generating enough pressure, bleed the clutch and see what happens.

Stop yelling lady. :)
