when i said gear lube, i thought he meant the rear, though i wonder what that would have to do with the trans. dunno.
the situation is simple (no driving required): normal driving the car is fine. when he leans on the throttle, it won't shift without maximum effort being applied to the shifter. this is with the clutch engaged, but it sounds to me like the clutch is not fully engaged - ever forget to push the clutch in and try to pull it out of gear? it's extremely difficult. that sounds like what he's going through with his car.
bitch of it is, he just got it, and he's having problems like this with it already...
