2003 Kia Rio manual transmission stick is stiff going from gear to gear. Not a clutch or transmission problem. What can I do to fix this?
I have the same car, the only solution to this problem is to tighten the clutch cable nut just as necessary until you feel that you are able to shift smoothly without forcing it, make sure you start the car to test for that.
You might have to remove the air intake in order to access the clutch cable.
If you tighten the nut too much, your clutch will feel light and you will have clutch slips. So basically keep trying until you're there. You can loosen or tighten the nut while the car is running, I'd recommend.

Gear stick is floopy, wont select any gear and appears to be stuck in gear. Its like the stick has snapped.
