MANUAL SHIFTING PROBLEMS (5spd)

["warren" <kodo@xxxx>]

My car just started to have problems shifting into reverse and first gears. I haven't
looked at it yet, but am very interested in what you find. I had a quick look at the
clutch pedal and found that there was an ever so slight amount of fluid on the carpet.
I checked the reservoir and it was full.
