So it seems getting into 1st is pretty rough. If you push too far to the left, (like normal) and up, then there is something that seems to block it, making it difficult. Move it a little bit to the right, (where 3rd seems it should be) and you can sneak it into place. 2nd is a little rough, but tolerable. Rev is just difficult, as you really have to pull up on the shift knob (more than normal) to finally slip it left and into gear.
What I'm wondering is, is there an easy fix to this? Aside from changing the tranny oil, is there some kind of adjustment to be preformed?.. keep in mind the clutch seems to work just fine.
thanks in advance.
