Try shifting thru the gears w/ the car off. If it doesn't have the same issues, then your clutch probably needs to be adjusted, a quadrant/adjuster installed, or a new cable. If it still does it then you have tranny issues.

ORIGINAL: BayAreaStang

hey all...once in a while when i put it to reverse it will go forward like first gear..i would have to hit my shifter really hard and jerk it a lot of strength to get it back in gear...then today when i was driving.....it like hella messed up on me.....it would let me only go into reverse(which would work properly) and 5th....i would have to move it around really hard to get it back to gear....but whenever i drive its really hard to put it from first to second to third etc......i dont kno what it is...sometimes it grinds.....do you think its the shifter or the tranny....thanks guys!!

Might be tranny or clutch. I had a probelm putting in my gears and I was wondering why it was getting harder and harder and grind. Finally one day the car didn't turn on. It was cause I had no clutch what so ever. Put on a clutch and it was all good. Good luck though. Hopefully it's not the tranny.
