    Cant shift into gear

    Just limped the E30 home. Driving around town i noticed the need for extra force when shifting into first and second (third was a bit easier). This quickly escalated and now after parking it, I can't engage in Reverse, 1st or 2nd with the car on.

    The clutch petal gives normal resistance and doesn't feel different.

    I CAN shift into those gears with the engine off.

    Currently trying to schedule a space to take a look at it but what is the most likely cause? Master, Slave, linkage or....?

    With car on, Clutch pushed in and shifter pushing TOWARDS 1st or 2nd; the car will roll slowly, same with Reverse.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    your clutch is not disengaging all the way. if you pump the pedal like 10x, does it get better?

    don't do any more of that, express way to demolishing your syncros if you haven't already
