The only thing cheaper is to drain the fluid and replace with the correct fluid and ask the Parts Salesman of what additive might work best in your transmission. Check the Fluid in the Clutch Cylinder. Bleed it after it is topped off.This could help.
the synchros are not DIY, when they start to go it will grind when the RPMs are higher like getting on a highway, you can try double clutching and see if that helps.
Hey I have a 1999 cavalier z24 5spd All my gears work except 5th while puttting it into 5ht gear as i let out of the clutch its grinding so i cannto put in 5th or it will grind, but at times it would work, but recently as Ive been driving I go to put it in 5th, there isn't a grind its as 5th gear is just netural NEED HELP geoff
the shift linkage may need to be adjusted a bit or the shift forks and engaged gears for 4th and 5th may have worn enough that they need to be inspected and fixed.
It sounds like the clutch is not releasing fully, or you are not being patient enough. When you press the clutch, it DOES take time for all of the heavy steel gears to stop spinning. I suggest you get a diagnosis from a mechanic. Failure to reasolve will damage the other synchros and round the gear tips.
that is the way they go some times check a a adjustment some times it means pulling up on the clutch pedal other times it is a nut on a bolt hope it is adjustable or it is clutch time
i had this same problem with mine and all i had to do to fix it was fill up the clutch fluid...i drove my turck like this for one year and the second i filled that up it worked like a dream. try it it might help.
you could retry bleed clutch slave cylinder,should really replace these when replacing clutch if high mileage or it might be fifth gear ring gear broken or worn looking at gearbox strip or new gearbox i would try rebleeding clutch might have small airlock in it.
