So heres the problem....

My gears grind.
The clutch is good.
Press in the clutch... to the floor, let off the gas... or vice versa... guess it depends on the driver... but either way... if i dont let the rpm's drop down low, the gears grind. doesnt matter what gear. doesnt matter if its up or down. only thing that matters is the rpm... if its higher they grind, if its low say below 2500 they don't. cant give an exact number cause whoever had the car before me put in new gauge faces and messed up all the needles...

could it be a flywheel issue?
shifter needs adjustment?
fluid change?

please help!!!!!!

Are you sure the clutch is good? I had a Mustang that showed pretty much the exact same symptoms, hard to shift, etc. Clutch was brand new, turned out the pressure plate was messed up by whoever installed it and wasn't allowing the clutch to disengage fully. I would at least see if you can adjust your pedal to make sure you are releasing the clutch fully.

Otherwise try Synchromesh fluid before you jump to conclusions about rebuilding or replacing the tranny, can at least give it some extended life.
