Default gears starting to grind

over the past couple weeks my transmission has started to grind when I shift gears. it has progressively gotten worse or the past few days. all gears will grind if I dont shift at a low RPM. I have a b18c-LSD tranny with ACT clutch and light flywheel. clutch is 3-4 years old. what is most likely causing this problem? clutch, transmission, low transmission fluid, or other? Thanks for the help

Is the MTF low? Start by draining the transmission and refilling with Honda MTF.

or some people like 'syncromesh' from gm.. i use MTF, but ive heard good things about syncromesh, and it fixed the 3rd gear pop-out in a friend of mines 06' si.. since the dealer over filled the tranny from the factory.

sounds like the clutch may just need to be bled out. I have never heard of all gears just start grinding in a couple of weeks
