Some models have selfadjusting cables, some - regular with adjusting screw next to the gearbox lever.Check yours.If there is not adjustment go to next step.Put new clutch kit.I think also first gear is difficult to switch ON

I have a 93 Toyota pick up 4x4 standard transmission. Sometimes when I go to reverse, there is a grinding noise, which won't let me shift into reverse. I then need to turn off the vehicle, then engage....

Could be the clutch.
Reverse and first do not have gears that line up like the others do. So if the clutch is not disengaging all the way, they will grind.

I have a 98 BMW 328i with a manual 5-speed transmission. One day I get in the car and noticed it was hard to shift into gears the clutch felt good and car would drive normal just stiff to put into gears...

It could be typically due to one or two things:

1) The clutch plate is sticking on the gearbox splines due to build up of corrosion or lack of lubrication. May happen especially after long standing with no operation.

2) Gearbox oil is old and requires replacement.

3) Clutch operation requires adjustment or repair. Check clutch fluid or cable condition and operation.

Gears are hard to get into or they grind

Hello Hannah, I don't believe just yet that your problem is inside your transmission. I would first check the adjustment and condition of your clutch. If it were an internal transmission problem it would probably be with one gear ,not all of them. You aren't grinding fourth gear because it is possible to shift into fourth gear without using your clutch if your RPM's are high enough. If you are really lucky you will only have to adjust the clutch, and if your not so lucky you may have the go for a new clutch, preasure plate, and throwout bearing. In any case I would like to know how you make out, please contact me and GOOD LUCK.
