Tonight I loaded the family to run and grab dinner. Putting it into reverse no problem. Back out of garage no problem. Put it into first, Holy cow it won't go in. It takes a crap load of pressure to shove it into first. Go up drive and into the street and shift into second, holy cow it didn't want to come out of first or into second. Every gear is difficult to get in and out of. Clutch pedal feels fine and once in gear every is status normal. Just really hard to go into gear and tough to pull it out. What's my problem?

Is it on the stock shifter? Pull up the leather bit and maybe see if the cable clamp looks broken

I decided to get it to a shop today in case it became catastrophic. reverse 1st and 2nd are all boogered. I get to the stop sign at the end of my road and it slides into first with no effort. the rest of the way to the shop it was perfect. I decided to have them f&f the brake fluid anyway because it looks nasty. They ride it around a while and f&f the brakes and clutch and nothing acts up. I pay for the f&f and cross my fingers the gremlin has left!
