cLuTcHeeee.....

When i'm cruzin fast and i **** into 4th gear it has a little grind then it goes in, Im thinking of getting a new clutch, 30,000 mile and a flywheel.

Does anyone know what that grind is, Clutch?

And what is a good clutch, Stage one to replace it with and a good flywheel?

Thanks Bryanb

I could be wrong...but it could be the syncros. I say this because
I had a car that did this and it was the syncros... ALL 5 times

I thought it was my syncros too , but when I took it to the dealer, they said that it was my shift fork and not the syncros. They replaced it under warranty.

Despite traxstarz experience it's probably your synchros. Try replacing with a different gear oil and see if that fixes it. My grind went away when I switched to Red Line Heavyweight Shockproof but there are many brands to choose from.
