Default Transmission is getting hard to shift, sometimes wont!

My transmission has been acting very weird lately. It is very hard to down shift, and yes, i depress the clutch the whole way to the floor!

It started with just not want to shift from 3rd to 2nd but now tonight it wouldnt downshift to any gear. i was trying to go from 5th to 4th but it wouldnt, so i tried 3rd and it wouldnt. so i just taped the brakes and tryed 2nd, it wouldnt, so i went back to 4th and it all finnally wanted to work again.

Whats wrong with it?

i drive a 1990 Honda CRX DX with a DX tranny

Check your shift linkage too. Tighten things up a bit if their loose. Maybe take it off, then re-install it.

I tried the Syncromesh stuff from GM, Pennzoil bottle. Works like a dream, only $15 for 3 bottles.

Is your pilot bearing good? Mine froze up and kept the input shaft spinning when I depressed the clutch pedal. It's something you might want to check.

double clutching solved the problem, or shifting slowly.

i assume the oil level is low, but i just cant get enough free time to check it.

school sucks!
