If you have a stock 5-speed, how does it shift into gear. Can you slide it into gear like butter or must it "Click" into gear with some pressure?
 
Mine varies with it's mood, sometimes it is easy, other times it feels like I need to throw my weight into it.

Most of the time it takes a little (a whole lot) pressure to put it in gear.
 
I usually have to put it into third first before it will slide into first. Somes time I have to row from third, fourth and fifth to get into reverse. I think XR7Dave said it has to do with the way the syncros are lined up or something like that.
