Default I know the clutch catches relatively high on our cars

The pas couple of months, my clutch has been catching very low. The shifts aren't as smooth as they used to be. 1 to 2 are the worst as well as 2 to 3.
Is this a sign of clutch replacement? I have 62k on the car. The car is a daily driver and driven in nasty traffic as well. I should also mention, i learned how to drive a manual on this car..

Default It sounds like it isn't disengaging completely.

ideas:
1) Check your brake fluid. The clutch uses the same fluid and reservoir. If it is low it will affect the clutch before the brakes.
2) Either your clutch master cylinder or clutch slave cylinder needs to be replaced.

Default more likely a hydraulic problem...

slave cyl. is the prime suspect.
