Hey Jim!

Neno here. I agree with Ron. I have the identical
problem with my trans at the moment.. along with quite
a few other problems... But it seems to be a fluid
problem that causes the hard shifting. Does the
problem with getting into first cause it to move
roughly 1/2 way through the shift pattern and just
stop in it's tracks? But you can pull it back and slip
it right into reverse? I usually just rev the engine a
bit (1500rpms or so briefly) and am able to get 1st.
None of my shifts feel smooth anymore. THere's a bit
of effort to get into 1, 2, and 3, but 4 and 5 seem to
be a ease to push into.  

Check the fluid and/or change it with some nice clean
Redline, I believe everyones vote goes for the ATX
version rather then the MTL.
