Shifter feels locked out

The shifter on my FC feels like I'm locked out of 1st and 2nd and the rest are suggesting it might be there, just want to make sure its the bushing before I fire the parts gun at it

I just went through this a couple of months ago. I believed it to be a bent 1-2 Shift fork. The parts are actually cheap. But I opted for a rebuilt JO motorsports trans.

Good luck! Hope yours is just worn shifter bushings!

I too am running an NA 5 speed from an S5 in my turbo Swap. It's held power just fine but the trans had unknown miles since I purchased the car 9 years ago so it was probably time . . .

Good luck to you!
