I have a 1995 Nissan Pick-up truck with 90,000 miles on it.
It's becoming increasingly more difficult to shift it into 1st or 2nd gear.
What needs to be done to solve this problem?
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

How about reverse?

It could be caused by a number of things. Mechanical, lubrication,
ambiant temperature. Try the simplest and cheapest solution first.
I pulled the rubber boot off my old 85 Pulsar and squirted some oil on
the bottom of the shift rod mechanism where it goes into the
transmission. That worked for me.
I would do Bill's suggestion, and then I would also have the fluid
changed. Consider replacing the tranny fluid with a synthetic, such as
Redline.

That's odd as if it was a clutch issue, reverse would be affected even
worse. When you say difficult, is it upshifting and downshifting, noisy,
stiff through the whole movement or just at the edge of going into gear
etc.

Is it grinding the gear a little, especially when cold? If so, I'd bet
your clutch is starting to go. Try the 50 mph 5th gear test to see if
it's slipping too. If there's no grinding and no slipping, just put
some Redline MT-90 in there. You should notice a big difference.

Like several others have said, a fuild change might help. Could be a clutch
starting to fail as well? Since I can't drive it, I have no way of knowing
how much force is needed and if this is a serious problem or not.

Just off the top of my head.. I'm thinking shift linkage adjustment..
