It's probably your synchro. You can probably just find another transmission for your car for cheaper than it would be to fix it.

Most definitely the synchro, or more specifically, the dog teeth are worn out. A synchro set will probably run you about $200 if you buy it online, plus the labor to tear it down and install it. Is this something you're capable of doing? If not, you might just look for a new tranny.

 

+1 on synchro
