Default Hard to shift into gears

Hey what's going on guys? It's been a few since I've been here, but it's nice to be back. I'm having a hard time shifting into my gears. I push the clutch all the way down and occasionally it will grind if I shift slow, but if I shift fast and hard it shifts fine. Any input on what the problem could be. Clutch fluid maybe? Thanks in advance fellas.

couple be number of things, i'll do the following in order

1) change the fluid to Syncromesh(GMSMFM)

2) flush the clutch, check for busted/leaky slave. if you have a leaky slave, the rod will not disengage teh clutch all the way=hard shifting, grinding.

3)syncro, nothing you can do about it

4)bend shift fork(ap1, heavy countersunk knob and track/fast shifting)


not likely the clutch

My 1st "S" couldn't get into gear. It was the clutch

I got a warranty, paid for by Honda.
