So I've had trouble searching up the issue online because every time I search that my car "does not shift smoothly" it gives me different results all relating to the engine, etc. However, it is not an issue with the engine, as it happens even when moving the shifter through the gears while the car is off. Basically the shifter just doesn't smoothly move through the gears for some of the gears, specifically through the first 3. 3-4 & 4-5 shifts smoothly. However, through the first 3 gears there seems to be resistance and it doesn't transition nicely into each gear. It feels like there is something blocking a clean pass between the gears. Feel free to ask for more information, hopefully this explanation isn't horrible.

Some information on the vehicle:

2001 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg Edition
1.8l Turbo
5 speed manual transmission
116,500 miles (purchased at 115,000 miles)

Someone is going to have to play around with it some. Probably disconnect the shifter from the trans to determine if the problem is in the shifter itself or the transmission.
