clutch???
i noticed today that i was having a hard time putting it into reverse and sometimes first gear. the clutch pedal after i drive it and the fuild is hot the pedal has about 5-6 inches of play from the top maybe a little more. the clucth was replaced before i bought the car and does not slip. what does this sound like??

Mine had the same prob. Turned out to be a crack on the case(red arrow) where the shifter is. Under the goldish lookin' plate(yellow arrow).
I had it TIG welded and it's OK now.
Check your fluid first, hopefully that is all it is.

I say you should bleed your clutch hydralics. Could have a bad master or slave cylinder. Don't drive the car with faulty hydralics as you will put A LOT of wear and tear on the transmission.
Wow, first time I've seen that. Is the shifter stock? I wonder what caused the strain in that area to make it crack like that.
