Hey y'all new to the forum, I've ran into a major issue with shifting. The car will not go into 1st 2nd or 4th. Extremely hard to shift. Clutch master fluid is clean as a whistle, can't tell if it's a clutch, synchros, or something else. Car is barley drivable and it's my DD. Please get back to me with some info asap. Anything helps. Thanks everyone.

Reason: Wrong heading
Usually it is the clamp that connects the shifter box to the shaft that runs back to the trans... IT has to be adjusted almost perfectly to shift properly and IF there is ANY slipping or the bolt gets wore it will make it very hard to get into those gears...
Anti venom mod and Amsoil Torque Drive fluid along with the Ranger Method will all also help... BUT the biggest improvement will be a MGW, or some other aftermarket shifter OR you can get a C6 Z06 shifter and box and bolt it right in ... makes a HUGE difference.
In this pic you can see the clamp and torx head bolt at the end of the box...the gold color thingy is the clamp...
