Default Shifting problem?

My 91 5spd 5 liter has a stock tranny, but king cobra clutch. Lately ive been having anissue with shifting. The car will drive and shift normally, but after awhile of driving, it will be nearly impossible to get it into gear. And when i finally get it in, its basically impossible to get it out. Clutch is in and everything. I usually have to just shut off the car and pull it out of gear then turn it back on. WTF is the problem here? any suggestions?

Hey dude, go to your car and grab the clutch pedal and pull it up as far as it will go.. this resets the cable in the quadrant. it will probably made a noise if it is way out of adjustment as the quadrant is spring loaded.. try this and see what happens..
