My 5 speed did this when I first got it. Mobil synthetic gear oil change fixed it.

Thanks for the reply guys.
I should have stated that a used tranny might have the same issues, vs a rebuilt one which would obviously have been overhauled.
Still looking for a rebuild procedure.

Before you rebuild your tranny....
Chech yer motor and tranny mounts. Swap fluids as Martin B - geeenuius - suggests. Rebuild your linkage with new parts. Theeeeen, if it still sucks, put in a different tranny. But not before.
BTW, 2nd gear syncro tends to go first - before the 1st gear synco. If 2nds' fine and first isn't, I guess you can fix it with one of the above.

Thanks for that tidbit of information. I'll try those suggestions first.
In the event they don't work... anyone have a line on a used 5 speed?

I have a spare one in my garage
Email me if you think you're interested. It's got some miles but serviceable.
