"HELP" Manual Shifting issues!
2011 RT Limited. I have to push very hard after pressing the reverse button to get it into Reverse. Then It's almost impossible to shift back into 1st. Once I do I can go down the road and shift into all the gears., but as soon as I down shift from 2nd to 1st it gets very hard. Cannot get it to shift into Nuetral at all!
Big trip this weekend. Need to get this figured out. No warning signs leading up to this what's so ever.
PLEASE HELP

Sounds like the contacts in the paddle shifter are not making good contact. But I don't know if its something that can be cleaned or just replaced. Good luck. Hopefully the dealer is close by.

Little checking..
Regardless of what you see in the in the sight glass on the master cylinder, take off the top and check the fluid level. You may have to add fluid and pump the lever to get any air out with the top off. If really low don't fill to much and pump slowly or it will squirt out all over the place and Dot4 is very corrosive...

Perhaps we should clarify if this is an SE5 or SM5.

Does it do this when it's just cold, or even after you've warmed up the oil? Mine is a little tough to shift in/out of reverse, and find N when the oil is cold too. It also helps to keep your foot off the brake too, (if posssible) if you have a habit of holding the brake. Other wise maybe some new clutch fluid will help as mentioned.
