today i noticed that it takes a little more effort to shift gears, wut can this be? is it a sign of my tranny going bad?? bad syncros, something i should really worry about, maybe change the mtf fluid

 

If you haven't changed the MTF in a while, change it. After you drain the fluid, you can check the fluid for bronze metal shavings which are a sign of worn out synchros. There are detents in the shifty fork, if there is a problem with these detents, it can make it harder for you to move the shift lever. Are any gears in particular giving you a problem?

 

well when i go to neutral to first it does require a little effort, form 1st to second it takes effort, from 2nd to third it takes less, effort, from third to fourth even less effort and then to fifth no effort, i know ppl say it doesnt matter if u change mtf fluid cause manuals dont really need it,but think it would be a better

 

also, when i shift into reverse nice and slowly it goes in fine, but if i shift too fast, then it grindsssss

 

Did you bang on your shifter linkage at all? It it's warped it can make it tougher to shift into gears. You could try putting a new bushing into your shifter linkage. Theres also a bushing under your shifter boot that might of gotten torn or something just speculating. I would change the transmission fluid though, i'm going to do it soon to my manual soon.

 

should i be able to pull my car outa 2nd and 3rd gear without having to push in the clutch? expecially in 3rd if im going about 25 mph i can very easily pull the shifter down into neutral
