Anyone ever have trouble getting their car in gear when stopped? It has no problem going into gear when moving or when the engine is off. But if I start it and try to put it into gear it is difficult. I can put it in 5th, then 3rd and fist it into 1st, but I have to turn off the car to get into reverse. This only happen about 50% of the time, sometimes it goes in gear without incident.

Sounds like syncros. When was the last time you changed your tranny fluid? I put some Aamco synthetic ATF in mine, and it made a world of difference (e.g. Gear changes are smoother and if feels much more solid, and quieter). Give it a shot, it may solve your problem for now. Otherwise, when you change your clutch have your syncros checked out.
