They start to die and can take a while to do it. My indy has had success simply pounding the tapered pin in on a couple of occasions. He says this fixes about half the shifting problems in 9Ks, but I find it only lasts for about a year. The real fix is a new coupler. They go for about $80 at eEuroparts and make a huge difference.
When my coupler died 2 months ago, I had trouble getting it into first (my wife couldn't) and second was a bit tricky. Other gears were OK, but shifting was sloppy. Like yours, it wasn't bad sitting still, but underway it was bad.
How many miles do you have on the car? Has the clutch ever been done that you know of? If you DO need a clutch, do the coupler when the tranny is out of the car.
