Celica Forums Active Threads This Week

I've got a 95 Celica, and it has started being "reluctant" to go into the "down" gears, 2, 4, and reverse. When this occurs, there's no grinding typically. It just feels spongy when I push the stick down, and if the engine is at the right RPM, it will slip down into gear. on occasion when I release the clutch there is a little grinding, almost as if the gears are just out of reach of engaging.

I can't find someone who can tell what would be causing it. A garage I took it to says I need a whole new clutch, transmission, and flywheel.

Any ideas? Has anyone experienced this?
