Recently been having trouble changing gears... If I rev up to 2000 rpm and change there is no problem - the higher the revs the longer I need to wait before gear changes (it just won't go in and I'm not forcing it) so if I'm in 2nd gear and rev up to 3500 rpm I'll need to wait like 2 or 3 seconds, for the revs to come down, before it will slide into 3rd...

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Not sure if this is related - before this became apparent I noticed a vibration on the car when doing harsh acceleration between 2500 to 3500 rpm - when I took it in for service Bosch diagnosed worn engine mountings...
 
For whatever reason, it sounds like the car's clutch isn't disengaging properly - probably the thrust bearing. Bits in the gearbox that should be disengaging from the engine's torque delivery when you depress the clutch clearly aren't.

Had your clutch replaced recently? It's probably time...
