Grinding?

[wstanek]

Im going to go with the synchros because if the clutch is "soft" then wouldent you feel a slight pull when you finally get it in gear with the clutch pedal to the floor and revs would drop a very slight amount because it is partially engaged.

I could be a combination of both, wearing out synchros and an out of adjustment clutch.
The easiest and cheapest approach would be to check and verify the clutch setting and get the most out of it possible first. Also check the plastic cap at the end of the shifter and the condition of the grommet under the shifting ball pivot point. The thread starter said
reverse was grinding. Reverse does not have a synchro. That indicated that the input shaft is turning either due to a not fully disengaged clutch or possibly a warped clutch disk.

go with his idea first and yeah could be a combination of both. but i also thought he meant mostly grinds in reverse.
