Clutch problem?

I have a 2000 9-3 base with 86000 miles on it. I got the car 3 years ago with 56000 miles on it. I've noticed that getting into and out of all the gears seems a little sticky of late, so I while my car was in the shop for a belt problem, I had the indie (North East Imports in Maplewood) take a look at that. He said the gears are properly aligned but that the clutch isn't stopping everything it needs to in order to go in and out of gear without some grinding, etc. He quoted me $900-1200 for the clutch replacement.
In running this by a friend, he expressed some doubt that the clutch is the problem based on the age of the car and also that I'm not having any lurching or other problems when the car starts. He's thinking it's more likely shifter bushings that may need to be replaced, or an outside chance that the motor mounts could need tightening or replacement.
Any advice on who's right and/or what my next steps should be?
Thanks!
