Default Problems Shifting Gears

My Z-28 was running fine until a week ago. I'm having difficulty shift gears. Often I can not get it to engage a gear, or I have to really baby it to get it to engage. First to second, second to third, and third to fourth seem to cause to most trouble for me. Is it time for a re-build?????

The car has 50K miles on it, and I had the clutch replaced about 14 months ago (new flywheel,slave cylinder, etc.)

Looking for free advise

Try bleeding the hydraulics and make sure the fluid in the master res. is nice and clear. If not time to change the fluids. Also change the trans fluid to see it it helps. Might not and then it would time for a rebuild.

Thanks for the response. I'll see about flushing the hydraulics, and changing the tranny fluid.

I'm still paying for x-mass, and dread the thought of a re-build.
