I bought this old suv for my 16 year old son a few weeks ago and realize that him being an inexperienced driver is part of the problem. He drove a different manual vehicle for 6 months (with no problems) so I thought he had shifting figured out. Anyway, when I test drove the Trooper, it shifted fine other than reverse being a little stiff. Now (after only a few weeks) all the gears are past stiff and almost at a "force" level to get in gear and fifth gear actually grinds. My question is since it has so many miles is it just time for a clutch change or do I have transmission issues?
