I have a 98 with a five speed that is starting to shift badly. At first, it wouldn't go into first without jiggling the shifter or moving into a different gear first. Now it started refusing to go into first no matter what I do!

It feels like something may not be lining up correctly. Anyone have advice on how to better diagnose/fix this one?

Thanks!
