You guys seem to be great at helping troubled souls like me, so I thought I would check with you and see if I can get some help.

I have a 91 (42k miles) that I bought 4k miles and 7 months ago. I love it, but the transmission has become increasingly "notchy" in the last couple of months. It doesn't seem to slip. It has been sitting for a week or so and today(a beautiful day in New Mexico) I wanted to take it on a run.

I could barely force it into reverse and first was almost as hard. When the engine is off I can put it in gear fairly easily, then when I start it with the clutch in and no brake, it rolls. I'm hoping that it is anything else besides a clutch replacement, maybe an adjustment or dust or something.

The previous owner had a comptech clutch installed 16k miles ago, surely it hasn't worn out yet!!

I'm obviously not a mechanic, just a person who appreciates this wonderful machine and it's performance.

Before I take it in I would like to see what the forums opinions are.
