Is it just hard to get in gear? Does it sometimes kick it out of gear too?

1. take the car for a drive, click car into 5th bout 50-60mph. push clutch in, rev engine up (don't friggin redline it) to about 2000rpms more than what it was cruising at, and drop the clutch,at the same time as full throttlein it. stock clutch will slip very slightly then engage fully if it is good.
if clutch is bad rpms will keep increasing with car not accelerating(going up in mph).
this will tell you if clutch is holding. if holding than you have either a bad slave/master or air in the line and need to bleed to fix the hard shifting problem.

Thats an awesome technique, and much better than what I was taught to do. I was taught to find a steep hill, get the car rolling around 25 mph, then dump the clutch half way up and watch to see if the rpms rise higher than normal in relation to your mph.
