I have a 1990 300zx na and its sometimes really hard to shift into gears. My 1st 2nd 3rd and 5th gear wont go to neutral without me stepping on the clutch. Not sure whats going on so if anyone can tell me that would be awesome! Thanks!

Well for one you're not supposed to shift with out using the clutch, that's what the clutch is made for. it's a whole other thing if you have the clutch completely depressed and still can't shift. You shouldn't ever shift without fully depressing the clutch, you run the risk of trashing the synchronizers in your transmission.
