could be the syncronizers in the transmission, u joints wont affect shifting, if at all, but what your saying sounds like your synchros went out, either double clutch or send it to a tranny rebuilder and have them tear it apart

 

While we are on tranny. Does anyone know why a tranny would shift really harshly? it has a shift kit, but I don't think it should shift so hard. I have adjusted the TV cable. I do notice it is stiffer at first, than Loosens up after I drive for a bit(The Pedal.) Also when I am really Light on the pedal like tapping it, the tranny will like search for gears between 1st and second.

 

Thanks Guys...I will look into it.

 

could be the trans mount too

 

I will look at
