^ most shops would say "well we have to remove the transmission from the car to see what's broken or needs replacement" When the "gates" in the gears isn't smooth, 99% of the time, it's the syncos that is wearing out.
Don't expect removing the transmission is no charge.
I drive my car grinding the gears sometimes when letting the clutch out all the way.
Cause: Bad synco bearings
Note: Also check to see if your clutch is let out all the way. Adjust it if it's not out all the way.
