It has a difficult time shifting into gear but comes out of gear rather easily. There is no slippage of the clutch. Any idea what it could be?

Hello,

This is typical when the clutch disc is having issues. Usually the material is starting to come off of the disc which makes it hard to get into gear. Here is a video on what you must do to fix the problem:

Not the same car be the process is the same.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken

My dot 3 fluid reservoir was below minimum level. Filled it up, that brought it back to normal.
