possibly your synchro's are going out.. you might want to try and source a z6 tranny

Any reason you're recommending a z6 tranny?

shorter gear ratios

ok now for an update if i have to buy i new tranny i will but i realy dont have the money at the moment ,so i went back out today and tried to c wat was going on .it goes in 5th hard and comes back out hard but when its in 5th gear its fine just when u go to put it in and take it out also 4th grinds realy bad but then it will go in if i slam it in

Syncros..

also isnt the d16y8 tranny even shorter? i know this thing sucks on the highway, cruising at 4K RPM isn't the greatest fuel economy...

batallic

there the same its just the Y8 has steel shift forks Z6 has aluminum

Ah.. thank you... I really appreciate that input, about to get a new tranny, since i drive a civic (and know its not a race car) i think i'll go with a Y7 tranny... better fuel mileage than doing 4K rpm on the highway...
