Harder to shift.

Recently my manual transmission has become a little bit harder to push into gear than it always has been. It's really not too bad, but it is annoying the heck out of me because it's like there is now a little point where you have to give it a little harder push like right when it's halfway between being in neutral and being fully in gear. I just changed my transmission oil and replaced the shifter bushing, just to knock out the easy little things that could possibly contribute. Other than that, the clutch was replaced only about 25,000 miles ago and there is no clutch slippage or anything like that,and I am out of ideas as to what might be causing it!! I was hoping someone else might have a few.

 

Throw back bearing?

 

imo agreed
