learn to double clutch or learn you engine.. my 5th gear synchro is shot, but i can shift it without grinding.

Mine is fucked up too. So bad that I get grinding w/ double clutching. :(

i had a quote of roughly 450 once for the fixing of the 5th synchro. do not quote me, it was a couple of years ago...
