I have a 1995 Chev. Cavalier, I'm having problems getting it into gear. It seems like the more I drive it the harder it is to get into gears. I don't want to put alot of money into the car because I didn't pay but $500 to start with. What do you think it could be, and if it's worth it to fix.

Check the clutch MC and slave cylinder. Make sure the clutch MC is full, then bleed the slave. Have someone depress the clutch and watch the slave rod movement, also check for any leaks in the system.
If no movement from slave and no leaks, you may have a bad clutch MC.

If the clutch MC and slave check out, then you may be looking at a new clutch, which if you cannot do it yourself, will run over $1,000.
