yes, but there isn't much you can do about it. Most likely culprit is bent shifter forks that are somewhat misaligned. What causes this? Forcing it into first without coming to a stop.

i don't even know where you'd look for parts....

besides that, tranny internals scare the crap outta me I don't look forward to doing it, but I'll have to open up my tranny too someday.
