its just recently started. like when I got towards 2nd gear it feels like there are things kinda holding the lever back or notchy. is it the clutch?

 

No get some shifter bushing man

 

Seriously. They do help quite a bit. I ordered Buschur ones and they took a little "convincing" to get on, but I'm glad I have them now. My difficult 1-2 and 4-5 shifts are a thing of the past. Still notchy ya know, but they slide in with ease.

 

1. shifter bushings (make sure you grease them)
2. lower motor mount
3. Amsoil tranny fluid

This what I have done, and it's improved tremendously
