My shifter has started to feel kinda funny

I've noticed this the past week. It doesn't feel like it just slides into gear nice and smoothly anymore. It's not necessarily hard to push it into gear (except occasionally I gotta give it an extra nudge to go into 1 or R), it just doesn't feel very smooth anymore, feels rough. It's hard to explain, but anyone know what I'm talking about?

I have the same problem going on with my T/A. Very frustrating.

Re: My shifter has started to feel kinda funny

i wouldn't doubt that it's a synchro problem. when they start to get old and worn, they start going into gear a bit rougher. eventually, you will try and put it in gear and it not go into gear. you'll be confused, and then you will let the clutch back out, push it back in, and it will slide right in. mine does that every once in a while, but the car still powershifts....

I can't even get my car into 5th gear right now. I have tried to Rev-match, and it worked for a couple of days. But, now i can't get it in at all. Sux.
