Since I purchased it 2 years ago ( only 68,00 miles then) my '94 850 has never had what I would call a precise shifting 5 speed. Lately it's getting a bit worse, with reverse often difficult to engage. Any ideas? I suspect some bushings somewere are worn, but where are the likely culprits? Any other ideas?

    I would first suspect engine and tranny mount bushings. Then I would inspect all of the usual culprits under the console for wear.
