Default Shifting problem??

1999 6mn. When cold and try to engage any gear it's very notchy and the car moves before it is engaged. RST Mcleod. Reverse is very hard to get in. Car moves more in reverse trying to engage. Gets a little better when hot but not really. I do have a Tick Mc. I see fluid more like seepage on the MC but definitely noticeable.. Fluid is new. When in gear have 0 slippage grabs prefect.

Update: Just check the tick MC and it's dripping with oil. Must be the problem. 3 yrs old and leaky NICE.
