Hello everyone. I've got a 1998 contour lx with the 2.5l and 5 speed manual transmission. I am finding that to get into first I have to go into 2nd first or it clashes/grinds. Even if I'm at a stop light for a couple minutes not depressing the clutch and in neutral and then go to put it into first gear I have to do the same thing. The car has 220,000 km's on it. Could the synchro be going? It is kind of annoying. Or if I'm coming to a stop and need to go into first because 2nd is to high of a gear I have to be stopped or it will grind going into gear.
I don't have a lot of money right now so just looking for options on how to fix this if it is possible. Thanks!
