  Just last week I started noticing that it was real hard to put my 5 speed 
tranny into first gear at a dead stop.  If I am at about 2 mph, it will go 
in smooth as glass, but usually it is neccessary to put it down into second 
gear from a stop, then it might slide (sometimes grind) into position before 
the stoplight turns yellow.  At first I thought it was the synchros, but 
could it be do to this shifter seat?
  Even if it isn't, it's probably a good idea to replace it anyways.  With 
189,000 miles, it's sure to be in bad shape.

The shifter "seat" is probably what you guys are talking about.  Here's an
article for the V6 tranny, yours should be similar:

It may or may not fix the problem, but its a good place to start.
