definitely the clutch draging. get your clutch looked at and reverse grind fixed, i'll bet your fifth gear grind will disappear.

Update....

My car has been at the dealership since Monday morning. They inspected it throughly....didn't say much about the grass under the car, except that they would clean it off for me (I thought I had taken most of it off...damn!).

Anywho...on Tuesday they called me and they said they were able to recreate all of the symptoms and that they were ordering some parts for the clutch and tranny...overnight... ....they called me again and they said they noticed some additional *(unusual) wear on the other synchros as well so they are going to order the whole set and warranty would cover it also.

Wednesday they gave me the update that ALL the parts came in and that they would be working on it all day. They also would replace the flywheel as the clutch had damaged it and they did not think just resurfacing would do the trick

By this point I had already pinched myself several times

Today, I called them around noon and they said they are almost done and they hope to have her all done by the end of the day. Tomorrow they will do my alignment to my specs and I am hoping I get the "Spugen" exhaust I ordered so they can install it free of charge since they had to take a bunch of parts off, including the stock exhaust anyway....

I will be getting her back by the end of the day tomorrow, depending if the exhaust gets here or not.....

WOW... I am deliciously happy!
