Okay, im kind of confused, no punctuation.

So this questions is two different cars? One car the clutch is harder to push, maybe its aftermarket? The other car is popping out of 1st, because of your transmission syncro's. It will need a rebuild.

My car and my friend's car had this prob. Do you have a short shifter? Mine popped out of second sometimes, all we had to do is adjust the shifter's screws.
