So I just recently purchased an FRS with a manual transmission with 145,000 miles and noticed that it is very difficult to move the gear towards the left side to get into first gear or second gear. I would have to try multiple attempts to move it left and the easiest way to get into first gear is by going from 2nd to 1st gear when I’m able to move it left. Moving the gear lever towards the right hand side shows no problem. I can go through every single gear including reverse without an issue apart from first gear and second gear. There is also an issue where whatever gear I’m in, there is a lot of play from side to side. Granted, when I get the car driving there is no issue with the transmission itself. Anybody have these issues before? Thanks!
