is this
> the tranny going bad?  the clutch?

Yep... they're all going bad... one mile at a time... if your transmission
has 100k or more miles it is not new anymore.... and you should be saving
for a rebuild at some point... ya ya I know there will now be a dozen posts
telling of their tranny going 200k.... but a lot of transmissions go around
100k... some before....

or could this be the linkage

Yes it could be that.... or both...
there were a few posts a month or two ago that explained how to adjust...
they're in the archives... Mark Drillock gave a clear explanation....

i am going to drain
> fluid and put in redline to see if this helps.

good idea... try this and adjusting the linkage.... see if it helps... if
not, then you just have an aging transmission like the rest of us....
