Have any of you guys expierenced grinding while going into 5th gear? I bought a 200sx gear set and put it in my Nx2000s case and when I put it in 5th gear it grinds...but, when I put it in neutral first and let the clutch out, and then push the clutch in and put it in 5th gear it doesn't grind...any ideas guys?

I would say it really sounds like the 5th synchro is the issue. What you are doing to make it work is essentially double clutching (if you are rev matching also) which eliminates the need for the synchro.

So is the 5th gear sycro very hard to change? Does anyone know if there are any other factors involved? I can get it into 5th gear w/o "double clutching" or rev matching....it just makes a small grinding noise...do you think I'm hurting the gears or anything? Any imput will be appricated...

sounds like the syncro to me, id replace it, usually when u have to force it in or it grinds to get in, thats the syncro
