Re: 5th gear grind

[jtrealty@xxxx]

Check the trans fluid level to make sure that it is full. It wouldn't 
hurt to change it. On a 5-speed the same fluid lubricates the final 
drive. Check the gear shift adjustments. If it still makes noise when 
in gear (not when actually shifting) then it is likely there is a bad 
bearing in the trans. If you have trouble when shifting then the 
problem is clutch related or an out of adjustment kinkage. If you 
haven't changed out the plastic clutch line now would be a good time. 
At the least flush out and refill with fresh DOT 4 Castrol GTLMA. 
Doing the brakes is also a good idea but be prepared to reseal the 
ENTIRE brake system. On many cars where the fluid is old and absorbed 
moisture, when flushed out the calipers start to leak.
