5th gear grind
this grinding just started lately after my trip to the drag strip...........normal shifting=grind, fast shifting=more grind.......however really slow shifting that takes 3-4 sec to put it in gear!lol!=no grind
all other gears are perfect.
is it the syncros?

Most likely yes, but may I suggest Doing this.
If you are pulling the trans for a rebuild might as well go to town. We have the Stage 2 service done on our car and the quality is very impressive.

Just get a stock rebuild kit replacing all the synchros, download the evo manual, grab a couple of , do it yourself. You're just going to want to have a hydraulic press to pull off/install the gears on the input and output shaft. I did mine by myself (and I'm a noob on anything trans related) and it came out perfectly.

I had gear grind for quite a bit of time and thought it was the syncro's never replaced them, one day my clutch died and when I replaced the clutch the grind was gone for good... So if u have a bad clutch and tob that could be your issue
