k, when driving if i try to quickly shift into 5th it grinds. if i do it slowly or normaly its fine. only just started to do it. all the other gears are fine. So any ideas how to fix or what it is? and yes im no mechanic so simple solutions are appreciated aswell , my guess is that the bearings are buggered :/

Synchro's?

3rd and 5th are said to be the first to go with magnas.
