my 88 4runner 5sp is kind of hard to get it into gear, it goes in gear and works fine, its just a too stiff. could this be old tranny fluid?

Probably not, but if you want to change it it's easy to do. Redline MT-90 is supposed to work well in 5 spd gearboxes. You might also try changing the shifter seat and bushing. It's cheap and easy too.
