Default gears are grinding ..HELP!!!!!!!!

So i have a b18 tranny with just a aftermart clutch. but anyways it just started grinding when i shift into 4th and 5th gear. And it sticks and grinds bad when im on the highway and go from 5th to 4th. I havnt changed out the tranny fluid in 2 years. could this be why? or are my syncros goin???? it shifted like butter about 3weeks ago and then now this.

i have no idea what it could be and im short on cash.

I think you've answered your own question.

Failure to change or check tranny fluid level, I'll bet you smoked 5th gear and countershaft bearings from lack of oil.

OMFG.
30 bucks, pick up some synchromesh. It's been said that it gets rid of some people's grinds.

It's a common issue. Don't trip, chicken strip.

syncromesh will work if its not to far gone, check your shifter and stabalizer bushings on the linkage.
