[T3] Sticky Shifting...

[j_jonik at yahoo.com (J. Jonik)]

Car...71 Sqbk FI Std...just passed PA inspection.? Brakes feel ok...say, 90% (??)...but pads are all good, and three new rubber brake lines are replaced.? One didn't seem to need replacement as per blow-through test. Another totally clogged, and another seemed tight in blow-through.? Replacing the Left Rear brake hose was a bear.? Access almost impossible.? And, without draining the system down to that hose, it's a wet job too.

Now, on to other things, such as---shifting between gears, especially into 1st gear from a dead stop, needs more muscle than seems good. ? At a slight roll, it goes into 1st easily. ? And reverse now seems to need more muscle too.? Going from 1st to 2nd needs a little push...but going from 2nd to 2rd, and from 3rd to 4th seems normal.
Is this a sign of something wearing out?? Time to check something(s) out?? What exactly?Does this have anything to do with the clutch?
