2002 Defender 110 Td5 CSW Zambezi Silver

Clutch advice please

We (SWMBO) have had our 110 from new, so it's getting on for 8 years old now with no major problems in 60k miles. Recently the wife has complained a couple of times of problems getting the car into gear. I drove it the other day and it happened to me, I tried to change up and it just wouldn't go in. The only way it would go in was to depress the clutch, then try again. I'm guessing the clutch/trust bearings are on the way out.
Would appreciate any advice please on what you think the problem might be.
Chris

Have tried changing the oils?

Would recommend the difflock oils, often when cold gears are hard to get.

My clutch lasted over 100thou hard miles. So 60 is low for a clutch.

If you are getting them done for you, make sure they use MTF not ATF or EP

Would just get them changed rather than checked, as is the cheapest place to start
