I don't even know where the tranny fluid is, or if there is a drain plug for it...(never did that before, did many DIY oil changes but thats about it)

It also appears that I have an RMS issue - small leak, but not going to repair that till I do the clutch... so I'm not sure if that has any impact on my notchy shifting situation or not.?!?!
Thanks

The clutch may need to be bled.
The shift cables may need to be adjusted.
The front motor mount may be worn.
There may be play in the shift linkage.
Last (and not terribly likely to be the problem) you may need to replace the transmission fluid.
