Default having trouble shifting!!!

i have had a similar problem before where i couldnt get it in gear without grinding and turns out my master and slave went out and i needed a new clutch. so i got a brand new 26 spline mcleod clutch kit that better be good because it was 1400 dollars. and replaced the master and slave. after all that it drove great for a while. had to mash the clutch or it would grind. now i am having trouble throwing it into second above 5k rpm's without it grinding on me. seems like there is never ending tranny problems/clutch. anyone have this problem? any reccomendations would be appreciated. thanks

Sounds like your syncros are going out. That might be an expenssive fix too.
