Hi guys,
i have a 99 type R and for some reason today when i jumped in the car the shifter felt very floppy and weird. Its like it couldn't find its gates. I started the car and everything was ok, but my reverse is now very hard to get in and out of. It needs a but of force to get it out, and it feels like its sticking.

This happen to anyone before or anyone know whats going on?

Thanks in Advance

the thrust bearing? its not very noisy but from in the car. It has a lightened flywheel so there is a very slight noise but nothing major.

could be something between the shifter and the gearbox? Im leaning more towards bushings maybe have started falling apart or a linkage bushing has cracked/slipped. I'd prob check that first as its a cheap replacement than a new clutch or worse
