Default Trans? Clutch? Problem

89 6 speed vert 100700 mi
Just drove 150 miles up the gsp with no problems.
As i'm heading into toll booth I go to put trans in 1st gear and its a little balky and stiff.
The rest of the way home I really have to push and pull gear shift lever to get in any gear.
Clutch grabs a little high but does not slip.
Any ideas?

Default Trans Problem

It sounds like the clutch master cylinder, or the slave cylinder. These are easy to replace, compared to doing a clutch job!

When was the last time you changed the trans lube?
