I had 5th grinding from time to time from day one when I try to quick shift into fifth, but with time started to shift easier to fifth, without issues, until recently, fifth started to grind all the time I try to shift to it, I thought it was syncros but didn't bother to change them until now, I would be more interesting in getting an upgrade to them if it is available instead of getting a new trans that will have same issue with track time. My car has around 25k miles and lots of track days.

My understanding is Chris Carver Motorsports in Houston has experience building these transmissions. I am considering reaching out to him when I finally decide to address the problem. No point in putting stock syncros back in if I have it rebuilt.
Jar, what is the options available?
