Hi guys I just did a 5spd swap on my car recently...I been driving my car for a while and it has terrbile shifting compare to my sisters civic....I have a stock shifter and its hard to get into all gears especially 5 and would sometime grind a lil getting into five...I swap out the stock one and put a short shifter in and that did help...but its still kinda rough, no more grind either... I'm assuming it could b my slave since the brake fluid does get kinda low and ran out once...but I don't see no signs of leaks?? I also thought that the clutch needed to b broken in but I beenn driving on the highway back and forth for 3 weeks to work so I kinda rule that out.....another thing is I think I need lube somewhere?

I don't wanna go do a shotgun method of fixing it (buying parts and end up not needing it)...

Jus wanna see everyones opionion on the problem. Then rules something out.

And yes I have bled the clutch, my accord ain't as fun as my sister civic, hers goes into gear so easy, I can multitask so easy driving it too..and my accord im driving it with the worry of having a hard time getting into gear, since I always have to SHOVE it in gear

did you put washers behind the clutch pedal? the manual firewall is different from the auto

Yup me and chido put a bunch of washers behind it...imma a change the slave and xring kuz the fluid is deff getting low so something is leaking..the masterr cyl is new so I rule that out...but for some reason I don't think it will help the hard shifting if i replace those parts I mention..it wouldn't go into gear this morning, the fluid was low but it wasnt out...imma replace the parts on Thursday see what that do.. what's a bad synchro?
