Question:
1989 diahatsu charade 3 cylinder....I removed the intake manifold to check the fuel injectors....fuel injectors had a good spray pattern. I didn't have a replacement intake manifold gasket, so i used blue rtv sealant the best I could.

Yes A intake manifold can make the vehicle hard to start, but also make it miss.

First let's determine that the intake is truly leaking. Once you have started the vehicle take a can of starting fluid with the red straw on it and lightly squirt around the intake where it bolts up to the head, the engine will reb up if there is a leak in the intake manifold. Don't get crazy with starting fluid because it is very flammable. You can even pinpoint the very spot of the leak by gently squirting starting fluid in the suspected area of the leak.

your leaking intake gasket will make it hard to start, and u probably need a fuel pump. As far as using the blue rtv it can get into the combustion chamber and cause internal engine problems. spend a little money and buy the gasket,, or spend alot of money later.

What causes a transmission to shift hard from first to second?

Yes it will make the engine run poorly if at all. You need to get a new gasket and be sure to torque to the correct foot pound while following the bolt pattern in the way specified in the repair manual for this motor. I would not run the engine untill this is properly repaired as it could ruin the valves.
