hey guys. My car is a 93 prelude manual, and since about 2 days it has become harder to change gears. Meaning when i shift, the gearstick will take a bit of force to change from third to forth and forth to third. Is this easily fixed or a big problem? =[

Ive tried changing gears while the car is off and it changes smoothly, its only when the car is on. so maybe the clutch ?

Ive had this car for about 6 months, never thrashed it, driven normally and its done about 200, 000km

I doubt its the clutch, due to the fact that you would hear grinding if it wasnt disengaging.
You wouldnt happened to have miss shifted from 1st to second recently while hooning?

I had similar things happen, especially for those 2 gears, for a little while and then it got stuck in 4th and wouldn't come out. I'm now replacing my gearbox.....not sure what occured though, I'm yet to pull the box apart to look inside.

check that the engine/gearbox mounts are alright. a cracked or broken mount that allows excess engine/g'box movement may make shifting difficult.
