    tranny or clutch issues?

    so when i bought my 89 325i i knew it would need a clutch sooner rather than later. as the clutch got worse it got harder to put it into gear. just after starting the car not while i drive it around. if i leave the car in gear when i park it i have no problems at all but its when i leave it in neutral then it will not go into 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th but it still goes into 5th, once i put it into 5th then it goes right into 1st no problem. I have been told it may be my syncros in my tranny but i was also told it may be my clutch causing this. what do you guys think? do you think it was a coincidence that both clutch and syncros are going at the same time or would a bad clutch cause this? oh yeah my clutch hasn't started slipping yet but the pedal is basically at the top when i bites. anybody have this problem before?

    This sounds more like a clutch than bad syncros.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      it would be nice if it was only the clutch. do you know if this is common?
