gear crunching...

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

I just has something similar, check your linkage, but then the main post
that goes from the ball to the first linkage, examine it if it is loose, I
had 2 bolts looks and I was grinding reverse and 5th all the time (for a few
days) tightens and green lock tight and its good as new now.

->What's the deal:  When I put it into reverse, it sounds like 
->I've got the clutch halfway in (which I don't... it's all the 
->way) and I'm reving it around 3K (again, I'm not... it's at 
->idle).  Also, when going from gear to gear (up or down) it's 
->like I have to break through a seal everytime.  It's also 
->hard to get into first at times so I end up going to second 
->then back up to first (slides right in usually).
