What year car and do you know it's the original gearbox? 1991 and up oil dipsticks are hard to crack open and way down on the side cover, vs the early dipstick like an engine oil stick....the 1990 had a danty dandy little plastic dipstick that can be checked easily, you just have to burn off your arm to get to it on a turbo model.
The point is, what is the oil level, and what kind of oil? The transaxles don't like even slightly low levels, only a small amount will change the behavior of the shifting.
Having said this, I doubt if this is your problem.....
Look down by the firewall to see if something is interfering with the shift coupling, hampering the forward / aft / rotation motion.
