you have to press the clutch........ haha okay jokes a side.. does it grind trying to go in ? and while parked are you able to put it in gear? or when driving, when you press the clutch and lean the shifter towards 6th , slowly leaning on the gear can you slip it in while the revs fall? let me know

do you hear a slight grind when shifting in the other gears ? could be a broken synchro, or the teeth on your gears could be finished... ` are you the original owner?
