Thanks for all the input. I will investigate the clutch as Bill
described this weekend. One other "symptom" I forgot to add was when
it starts having the "stuck in neutral" problem, I come to a complete
stop, have to almost fight it into reverse(that is the only gear it
goes into when running), I have this feeling in the shifter like
something is spinning in the trans and by grinding it in reverse, this
stops it and allows to shift again??

Thanks for all the input. I will investigate the clutch as Bill
described this weekend. One other "symptom" I forgot to add was when
it starts having the "stuck in neutral" problem, I come to a complete
stop, have to almost fight it into reverse(that is the only gear it
goes into when running), I have this feeling in the shifter like
something is spinning in the trans and by grinding it in reverse, this

When it does this put the clutch pedal down to the floor, hold it there for
10-15 seconds, and then slowly go towards reverse - you may hit a sweet spot
where it's not quite in R all the way but the gears are starting to mesh and
it makes a light grinding sound that *keeps grinding* rather than slowing
down then stopping when you barely have it in R. If it does this then the
clutch isn't releasing all the way. I would really doubt trying to get into
a gear from a dead stop is a bad synchro. Minor issues with the clutch not
pulling off all the way will often exhibit themselves in only 1st. Worse
cases will do it in 2nd/3rd (that's how mine was) so that you have to go
into 4th or 5th before 1st/2nd/3rd to get it not do it.
