I recently bought a 96 200SX SE-R, and I've noticed that it has some tranny problems. Sometimes when engaging 2nd or 3rd gear at regular speeds, the car seems to halt sharply for a split second (feels kind of like the hard engage of a low gear at a high speed, like shifting into 3rd going 60 mph), and then go into gear. This happens mainly in the middle gears.

Is this a bad sign? Should I just change the fluid or something?

Also, the car is tough to get into reverse.

Sorry if this is vague or too basic, but I don't know much at all about transmissions, they boggle my mind. If anyone has any info its much appreciated.
