Changed Gears and it won't go in!!!
Okay i'll try and explain as well as i can, and i didn't search cause i didn't know what to search for.
Hope this isn't a double post!
Okay so i'm in 1st gear, i take it up to about 5000 rpm and i change into second just fine. I then stop start off again and take it up to anything higher then 6000 and it blocks me out of second gear or will sratch really bad and won't let me put it in until my rpm's have gone down..
Clutch/Tranny?
also the weird thing is i don't have to push my clutch to change gears if i'm just driving normal it doesn't scratch and will pop right in!!!
Any idea's on this would be helpful.
Car: 94' RS everything stock.

Re: Changed Gears and it won't go in!!! (integraL)
How many miles do you have on the car? Did you notice how high your clutch pedal was each time you shifted? A sure sign of a clutch would be a leak or having air in the clutch system.
Check around the clutch slave cylinder for dampness or dirt and debris collecting. As you drive dirt and grime will accumulate in wet areas where a leak is present.
Perhaps your clutch is damaged as well. there's another thread at the moment on a clutch that had to be replaced.

The car has about 180K on it and my clutch pedel releases really late.
i've bleed my clutch and it was really dirty so i cleaned out the system and then i just bleed it again recently and it was dirty again..
So should i just replace the clutch???

Re: Changed Gears and it won't go in!!! (tweak)
180k on the original clutch? that would be amazing... and a sure sign that maybe the clutch is on its last legs.
I recommend that you check for leaks in the clutch system. the clutch might actually be good. I recently had my slave cylinder changed for the same symptoms youre reporting. You could actually see where the leak originated so i guess you can consider this.

oh tweak, little bro 
if the fluid is dirty in the clutch system, then it's time to replace the master and slave clutch cylinders. Replacing them is super-easy...you can pick them up for about $75 from http://www.enthusiastsauto.com (mention groupbuy price if you can).

Sounds like you got a synchro problem bro. The problem is that your 2nd gear synchro is getting pretty bad. I have the problem with my tranny too but mine is with my third gear. it grinds when i shift in at a high rpm but works fine at a low rpm. The only way to fix this is to replace the synchro or buy another tranny. Good luck.
Cheers

I really hope my synchro's arent going out, but if that is the case i'll just beat up this tranny and hope it lasts 3-4 months cause i should have the money for my motor swap by then.
