OK. So im stumped. My transmission goes into 1st 3rd and 5th just fine, but 2nd, I have to put it into gear(or what should be in gear as far as the shifter's position, then wiggle it a bit and I feel it pop into place. Same goes for 4th and reverse is almost impossible. When I move the shifter to where its supposed to be in gear, I feel a bit of resistance as if something were stretching. I thought maybe the cables were binding but I checked all of the cables and they are fine. I'm almost positive its a problem with not the tranny itsself, but rather something before the cables meet the transmission because if I mive the levers on the outside of the transmission by hand, it goes into gear just fine. WTF? Do I need new cables? I'm stumped! Oh yeah, if I granny shift its usually ok, but shifting at higher RPM's is a no go. Also, when the car is at a dead stop, or turned off it goes into 2nd and 4th fine. TIA!

Sounds kinda like what would happen with my tranny when I broke my one of my shift forks. Not saying that's necessarily what happened, but it is a possibility.
