When stopped, is it hard to put it into any gear?

If you are coming to a stop and get it into first, then stop, does there seem to be a drag on the engine?


Either one of these indicate to me that you need a new clutch. It could be worn synchronizers in the trans, but usually that only affects a couple of gears, not all of them. I'd look into the clutch; at 150K it may be ready for one.
