[T3] Sticky Shifting...

[J. Jonik]

Car...71 Sqbk FI Std...just passed PA inspection.  Brakes feel ok...say, 90% (??)...but pads are all good, and three new rubber brake lines are replaced.  One didn't seem to need replacement as per blow-through test. Another totally clogged, and another seemed tight in blow-through.  Replacing the Left Rear brake hose was a bear.  Access almost impossible.  And, without draining the system down to that hose, it's a wet job too.

Now, on to other things, such as---shifting between gears, especially into 1st gear from a dead stop, needs more muscle than seems good.   At a slight roll, it goes into 1st easily.   And reverse now seems to need more muscle too.  Going from 1st to 2nd needs a little push...but going from 2nd to 2rd, and from 3rd to 4th seems normal.
Is this a sign of something wearing out?  Time to check something(s) out?  What exactly?Does this have anything to do with the clutch?
