Hard shifting 95 SC2 manual what could be the cause

Well I think my subject probably speaks for itself.. Usually happens when temps are getting hot outside.. but not always... What else could cause this kinda shift problem? I have looked at the cables and they look fine but I cant say for sure...

that when the motor mounts need replacing, especially the top right mount, the shifting gets hard/harder.

i only notice it at stop when in neutral trying to get first gear, once in gear and moving, it works just fine.

how long has it been since you changed the mounts?

The motor mounts were replaced not to long ago.. I am wondering if maybe my clutch is on its way out..?

I had the same problem when mine with me 92 sl2,I replaced the "shift tower" and it went away??I just used a junk yard one, but it's fine now

ok, it's the thing at the top of your tranny. if you look at the top of your batt. and look below it, you should see, your shifter cabels, the thing they connect to, is your shift tower, also your reverse switch is connected to it, I'll try and get smoe pics. up to help you more...

well for me, i bought the sc2 used, and then it kept getting harder and harder to shift, i turns out the clutch was perfect, shift tower was fine, and the pressure plate bolts rattled loose, how i dont know, why i dont know, but go figure...

I have the same problem. I will pull out the batt and get in there with some pics and what not, maybe make it a sticky?
