Hard Shift

Hey guys, I tried searching about my problem that i'm having with my 95 5spd, I had no luck. Over the past few days, the shifting has gotten harder, and also my clutch feels harder as well. I checked my tranny fluid today and its clean, and full. Before I go any further with this issue, anyone know whats going on?

well for the shifting, you may need some "new" gear oil.I can be wrong.

Both clutch and shifting, I say get your clutch hydraulics checked out. Clutch slave cyl is a common problem.

Ye i had a similar problem a year ago, eventually one day my slave cylinder gave out and i had no clutch. Funny thing is, nissan fixed it, now its back. And it aint a cheap job, i payed $240 i think for it to be replaced.

Wow, slave is cheap if you do it yourself, $10 for the rebuild kit from your local dealer, 1hr's worth of time to rebuild & bleed (don't forget there is two!)

It's bin a week now, and the shifting has come back to normal. But I have a feeling it will come back.

Yep same problem as i had, comes and goes, and then finally one day the clutch just poops out. I know there is a rebuild kit but for me it was both cylinders and they were too messed up to rebuild.

is it doing it when it is colder out?

I think Dave got it on the mark. Slave ... but, check all your hydraulics.
