Every gear shifts beautifully except for the 5th, so I'm hoping it's not the tranny. Sometimes there will be no grinding if when I shift, I hold the clutch in untill the RPMs come all the way down, then proceed to shift. Could synchro mesh fluid be the solution to this?

Car is a 1990 Integra w/ 199k on both motor and tranny.

I remember a while back, my mechanic told me that I would need bearings soon. Could this be the cause?

 

I have the same problem. It's the synchro that's going out. You might want to wait until you change the clutch to change the synchro at the same time. A temporary way to mask the problem is to change the transmission fluid with synchromesh.

It's just a temporary fix, and you can get it at a GM Dealer

 

I just bought 3 quarts of Penzoil synchromesh (which is the same as GM, supposedly). I'll let you guys know how it work after I changed my transmission fluid.

 

let us know how it goes

 

i changed mine to syncromesh and it still grinds =/ but not as bad
