Hard into 1st and 3rd

[93CB7]

NOT my car, it's my cousins wifes. Trying to help, but I need your help so I know what to look for.

PROBLEM: 5-speed MT is hard to shift into 1st and 3rd, but only those two gears.

SOLUTION: ???

i'd try to shift linkage first

then maybe the components that actuates: master cylinder, slave, etc.

worse-case senario is that thruster thing in the tranny is bad(forgot whats it called but it helps getting the car into first)

synchro is starting to go out slowly if its only gonna be reserved to two gears and others are fine.

I finally got a chance to drive the car. It's difficult to near impossible into ALL gears. Moves into gears perfect when not moving, but get it rolling down the road and it's very difficult to shift the gears.

agreed. also pull the fill plug out and see if there is any fluid. probably due for a tranny change as well

ive changed mine on an average of every 5-6k. the owner of spoon sports says that in racing, it should be changed every oil change but thats racing, lol

X3 on syncros if the fluid checks out to be OK I had the same problem on my 93 accord (RIP stolen stripped burnt ) just into first and fifth and it was my syncros.
