Default Transmission Problem (?)

[Just started last night: randomly]
It's difficult to put my transmission into gears, and a couple times it wouldn't even let me put it into first; I would have to shift into second, then back into first, and then it'd work. Sometimes all gears are difficult (not smooth at all), yet sometimes they're fine..

What can it be? Transmission fluid?

What a stupid question.

If he had no fluid, his gears would heat up and seize faster than an epileptic watching anime.

Synchromesh is hit or miss. Some people swear it's magic, some people swear it grenades transmissions.

I prefer Honda MTF. If you're going to try and use synchromesh, use 1qt of normal synchromesh and 1qt of synchromesh friction modified.
