When I had the car running and was able to drive it the car, it would not shift into second gear. It had a pushing filling on it when I would try to go into that gear. Also even though I have the clutch all the way in and changing gears like from reverse to first it would make a big grinding noise but only once in a while. So Im thinking I need to tighten my cable to stop the grinding noise. But I have no clue about how to fix second gear. My car is a 1975 2.0 with side shifter. Thanks for those who help.

a couple of things ...
like jake said, take the linkage off the tranny and try by hand first. if you can get in second, suspect the linkage/bushings/shifter. make sure the linkage doesn't have any obvious bends. replace the bushings if you have slopp. as for the crunch, this is going to be a bit tricky. before you tighten the clutch cable, you need to check if your clutch tube inside the center tunnel has come loose. that happens a lot and if so, adjusting the cable will simply make it worse! to check, remove the 3 screws from the shifter plate and rotate the shifter plate 90 deg so you can get inside the center tunnel with your hand. the clutch tube is to your left, drivers side. grab it and see if it moves. if yes, you need to weld it back onto the tunnel. search this board, brad had a post with pictures explaining the procedure.
