Wouldn't it be syncro's going out? Mine grinds when I shift to 4th if the RPM's are above 2k.

to the origional poster, please describe your problem with more clarity.

I had grinding noises when shifting, and it turned out to be a slow leak in the hydraulic clutch. The clutch wouldn't fully disengage, even with the pedal fully depressed. Look for fluid leaks behind the clutch pedal inside the cabin and around the slave cylinder (front of the engine, kinda below the battery). If you see a leak, replace the cylinder and the problem should go away.

so how do u go about to fixing the syncros? some say rebuild the tranny and others are saying change your transmission fluid

Hmm.... I might just have to check on that for myself 'cause I know my clutch's got a slow leak.
