Most likely it's the shifter linkage or the clutch. A clutch that is out of adjustment will make it difficult to shift gears. Was it wanting to grind the gears? If not, it's the shifter linkage. The rods could be binding up or the bolts that hold the linkage in place could have loosened up. It has happened to me before.
:iagree: characterstic of both of these.... Also check the shifter bolts while your checking, my loose shifter bolts made it difficult to shift..
