It's probably the synchro. At that age, it's probably worn out and in need of a new transmission.

Sounds like your clutch is dragging a bit as well as a bad synchro. With car running, push in the clutch all the way, wait about 5 seconds then put it into first. If it grinds then the clutch is dragging.
