might be your clutch buddy. clutch pedal will feel the same
you have to shove it into gear right?
you might start having problems where clutch pedal is all the way down, and your car stalls..

but might be many other things. its been discussed alot. searching would help.

Could the clutch master cylinder be going out? I have to refill mine a little every month because it is leaking inside the car.

make sure you have fluid in you reservoir. i had a similar problem on my 3rd gen. my guess is that if changing your tranny fluid did nothing it has to do with you master/slave cylinder it could be the clutch itself too like someone else said.
