Everything is stock. For a while, you had to push the stick a little extra harder to get 5th gear in, it never made me think anything was wrong until it got stiffer. Now I dont have that last firm push to get it in gear anymore. I 9 times out of 10 it wont shift into 5th. When I take my time and have patience to try and see if I can get it in it might after 10 trys I hold in the clutch and i can feel it vibrating a little (with no noise) eventually after bringing the shifter from N to 5 a few times I feel the small vibration go away and it will stay in 5th w.o any problems. No slipage or gear grind once it's in. This was a slow progressive problem I noticed but it just started not going after I let the car sit for 6 months and took it out again. I am transmission useless.l, I looked for threads but no luck. Sorry about the rambled post and thanks for any info
