Hey guys I recently been having a sticky first gear and second gear. Sometimes when trying to get into first it wont go in at all till i slam the clutch to the floorboard. Kind of weird but this only happens every now and then and when switching to second i cant switch quickly because it'll grind into it. Im not a transmission expert at all but I was wondering what else i can do to possibly help prolong the life of the trans and clutch before having to replace alot. I have a short shifter installed which could be the reason why, and I installed it myself which could be even worse hahah. But let me know what ya'll think, thanks....
