We don't expect everyone to be perfect, but we DO want to see an effort being made. Thanks. Now, I'll have all kinds of time to talk about DSMs, because I won't be busy fixing mine!

Check the obvious stuff like shifter and cables, shifter bushing and brackets, all the easy exterior stuff before you go yarding the trans out and tearing it apart. It could also be a shift fork or any one of a dozen different things inside the trans. 90 Laser RS-T
