......still looking to replace my T.......



drove a car last week w/ 66k orig miles; early E (71)....everything worked but my question to board is:




1)what is going on when gear lever is so very hard to move at all, like a stick in quik sand. no grinding, no synchro issues.....just frozen glue

2) brakes work and pull down well, but pedal sits VERY hi and is super stiff.





.just wondering if both symptoms are fluid/hydraulic issues , lack of use or worse...tia!
