When you say it won't shift right, do you mean you can't get it to go into gear or it grinds going into gear? Or is it just "growling" as you're driving down the road? If it's hard going into gear, check the bushings at the clutch pedal, maybe they're worn out. Check to make sure that your firewall isn't flexing when you push in on the clutch. Check to make sure your master cylinder if full of fluid and not leaking anywhere.
