bad slave symptoms?

my clutch pedal feels fine, not noticably softer or anything. at first it'll shift alright, then it starts getting hard to get it into gear. at a stopsign I'll gently force it into first and it wants to jump, but as I'm sitting at the stopsign it doesn't feel like it's wanting to pull or anything, and as I let out the clutch it grabs at the normal spot and everything. I'm lost, any ideas?

well I went to leave for school this morning and couldn't get it to go into first. so I shut it off and started it in first. when it fired it jumped a little bit but then just sat there (with clutch depressed, like it should). didn't give me any troubles the whole way to school. this is wierd. really inconsistant.
