The harder lever action and engagement point could be down to either the system needs bleeding or the seal has gone in the slave cylinder..........or both.
Work the lever and listen for a "squelching" sound from the slave cylinder. If you can hear that then the seal has most likely gone.
If the clutch is graunching, then like already mentioned, pull the plates and give the whole lot a good clean.
When you replaced the clutch, did you just do the plates? If so, and the basket was too worn then you can accelerate the plate wear because there is already enough room between the tangs to start bashing them.
A new basket and plate set will weigh in around the £200 mark. If they do need replacing, you could use the STM 48T basket and plates as these will last longer and are still on promo at £250. You also get an alloy basket and plate "upgrade" at the same time
