My 1990 LX 5.0 has 82,000 mostly highway miles on it. Lately, it's been hard to get into gear; sometimes shift into 2nd from 1st, third from second, etc. (sometimes grinds too) does not seem like the syncros would be bad. do you think it is the clutch? would just a shifter change help? naturally looking for the cheapest thing to try first. any help appreciated. thanks. btw, everything still completely stock.
