Any chance you have an aftermarket shifter? My guess would be your shifter has moved and is no longer aligned properly.

Did you miss a shift a some point?

No aftermarket shifter. With the exception of some spirited backroad driving I just drove it around town. I've only owned it for about 5 months.

I can still get into third easy but it grinds on the way in. Double clutching doesn't help. LIke I said in the OP, even if i'm idling and shift to third immediatley after pushing the clutch in, it'll grind. But if I clutch in and wait a second or two it won't grind if it's undre 1.5k rpms.

@ 81c3: I know that RPM is great with our trans but I wanted to see if there where any places closer to me. If not I suppose I'll have to buy a level VI and send them my trans for the discount. I'll still need a shop here in souther cali to install the trans though.

Enigma (or anyone), do you know of a good place to buy synchros and/or other parts I may need for the drivetrain?

You can try these guys for the parts you need...
