A little back story. Back in 08 I had my shifter fork take a poop on me and so I raged faced it into 3rd for 5miles to get home and thus totaled the tranny; shattered the Shifter fork and turned 1st and 2nd gears into toothless monsters. Long story short I snagged a rebuilt tranny and center force clutch kit. (Old clutch was worn down pretty bad.). Anyway, car has been sitting for about a year and I just recently got it back up and running. Yay!
Two days ago I start the car up and it felt like it wasn't shifting right; grinding a bit on going into 2,4 & Reverse. Now I am getting a lot of grinding on 2,4 and Rev. and it feels like the shifter isn't going all the way in.. Oh and abit of snagging on 5th gear. Feels pretty similar to a busted shifter fork or maybe a throw bearing; however I've only got 10k on the transmission tops.
I plan on flushing the system later this week to see if I can't find any little bits floating around in there however I was wanting some input and fresh ideas before I go rage face on this transmission and rip it to shreds.
Anyone had similar problems or insights? Thanks ahead of time.

I'd suggest leaky master/slave.

How's the clutch pedal feel???? If it's a bit loose, I'd try bleeding it out, and if that still doesnt work, look into the slave cylinder.......

The clutch pedal feels about normal. No real change in stiffness. I'll take a look at the master/slave later and see if I can't find any leaks anywhere; or atleast the tell tale signs of leakage and report back.

Check the flex line too, but make sure you have someone pushing the clutch in when you do, otherwise, you might not notice the leak(happened to me when i first got my mx3, took me weeks to figure out where my clutch/break fluid was going)
