1996 Toyota Tercel 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 210k miles

When shifting gears, I sometimes have to physically strain myself to force the stick between first and second gear. sometimes the gears grind when shifting. Also, when i'm in fifth gear the stick vibrates and lurches back and forth when i apply and release the gas. At times, it has actually jumped out of gear when in fifth when i stomp on the gas.
