I got me a 1999 Chevy Cavalier recently. It's a stick and has 5 gears and the reverse. Well, I'm doing ok so far, only stalled twice trying to reverse. Today though I noticed that when I go to put the car in reverse (which is bottom right), it grinds at me. I have the clutch pushed to the floor, but it still grinds. Could it have already been in reverse and me pulling on it more is making it grind or what could be the problem? And also, when I go to shift to 3rd gear it's so hard to get it in gear. And yes, I have the clutch in at all times. According to stick manuals for cavaliers it says the 3rd gear you have to push right, then up and there's 3rd gear, but recently it's been hard to get it into gear. What can I do about it? I don't want to break the gears. I love the car...
