tranny hard to shift? first time for me.
the transmission is hard to shift into 1st and impossible to shift into R with the car running. (im currently turning the car off to shir to R )
what do you guys think it is. oh also it is somewhat hard to shift from 1 -2 and 3-4. when the car is running. mike,.

your clutch is not releasing. you may have air in the line, or your master/slave is dying.

i agree with nynor. there is a very slight chance that you can fix it with a gear oil change, but i doubt it. i drove my 944 for awhile with a broken clutch (didn't recognize the signs, rubber center broke) and sometimes i would have difficulty shifting. i also noticed a LOT of drivetrain lash (from the 'limp home' teeth).
good luck!
