List,

After driving for about a hour or so, I'm having difficulty getting my
transmission into first gear and to a lesser extent second gear.
Recently
changed to Redline lubricants and was no help, this condition existed
prior
to changing fluids.  This condition does not exist at start-up.  Thought
it
might be the linkage needed greasing, but shifts fine into 3rd and 4th.
Time
for a transmission rebuild at 80k mileage, replace the synchros on first
and
second gears?  Thanks in advance.
