Trans Problem just cropped up...help!

I've got an 87 951 with about 48K miles. I've had it for the last 10 years/20K miles. The transaxle was flushed and filled with Mobil 1 synthetic. Never had a problem with shifting.

Yesterday, I drive it in to work...13 miles each way. Everything is normal in the morning. On the way home, it starts getting hard to shift in the lower gears. By the time I get home, I can't find first gear at the last traffic light. No matter what I do, it is not going in to 1st. I finally get it going for the last two miles home but by the time I reach the driveway, its just about undriveable.

Any ideas where to start looking? The clutch felt normal, take-up where it should be, no slipping, and no grinding going into gears.

Thanks,

Dee
