Thanks for the update. I have found that the shifter moves better when the car is not running. And it seems to me that the pedal needs to be pressed down a bit further to shift. Maybe it's time for a clutch. At 60,000 miles and the third owner, I do not know if it has ever been changed. And at 64 it maybe for me to sell it. Getting hard to get in and out.
