5th gear doesnt want to engage. Thoughts?

[Cope]

Hopefully someone can help me answer this.

My 5th gear goes in fine with the clutch all the way in, and as soon as i let out, it pops out and grinds. Much like the 2nd gear issue i've read about on here. Nearly every time unless I really force it(not preferred).

Has anyone had the same issue or know solutions?

Only transmission 'mods' are an ACT 6 puck clutch and flywheel. Motor is bolt ons. Which also means I'm probably ass out at the dealer considering the car was mostly modded when purchased and I cant go back stock.

Please help. Lol

In my experience that usually means a worn out synchro. The only way to correct it would be a transmission rebuild. Or at least replacement of that syncro

If it's only 5th gear yes the answer is probably a Synchr or something with the tranny and since you're not going to go more with the mods I would go back to maybe a stage 1 or stage 2 performance clutch 6 Puck clutch for racing, and stuff like that. I wouldn't have that for a daily driver and not go further with mods. I have every bolt on mods you can think of and a full custom tune with the stock clutch 70000 miles still going strong no reason for six puck.

So not long after I bought it, the clutch has shit the bed on me. I figured I can go stock replacement, or upgrade and it really feels stockish to me. It's really neither here nor there but I do intend on taking it a good bit further on the mods.

Cool. I put a stage 2 SPEC clutch on my S13 of course it's not my speed3 like I said that was stock. What I mean by all this is that the spec stage 2 in the s13 is just like it was stock , but much stronger. The pedal feel is like it was stock. Just another option to think about.
