Default (m2a4)5th gear grind

Hi Guys,

I've got a 98' Base Prelude and just recently purchased a 4.64 mfacotry fd i was planning to put in.
i also got a spare M2A4 gearbox from my old bb4. After reading around, it seems that the M2A4 gb has shorter gear ratios compared to the one that is currently in my bb6.
Since the whole point of me putting in the 4.64fd for faster revving and more tq, i thought it would make more sense to put the FD into the M2A4.

The problem is that my M2A4 has the notorious 5th gear grind.

I remember reading write-up awhile back on how to fix the h22a 5th gear grind (had something to do with the bend selector fork).
For the pass couple days, I've been searching around but i can't seem to find it. Can some1 hook me up? Please?

If you're in there swapping out the fd, I wouldn't think it will be much more work to replace the shift fork and be good to go. I don't have a link for you, but there was a TSB on the 5th gear grind; you might be able to find a link in the faq's or just google it.
