did . not solved .made sure shift linkage isnt bent , changed axles ( needed it anyway) it isnt my clutch cuz it does it wether the clutch is engaged or not .. so it has to be inside the tranny ... but i havent taken it off the car yet . NOTE : there is heavy resistence going into gear ... but it still will shift into gears with no grinding or noises at ALL!!!!!!! .. just has so much resistence going into 2nd,4th and reverse.... i have to use both arms to get into them three gears .... the other gears are still effortlessly .
