shift problem - crunch into 5th gear

Spartan 1771

The synchros in the OEM manual trans are crap. They are known for grinding in to gear when power shifting. Only 6th gear grinds on my Z (for now). I can power through 1st through 5th with no issues, but if I want to avoid grinding in to 6th, I need to push the clutch all the way down, wait a second and then shift in to 6th. I took it to a reputable place in Maryland a few years ago and they recommended replacing the trans with a new one. That seems to be the general consensus with this issue. Or at least it was back then.

As far as shifters go, I installed a B&M short throw about 10 years ago and haven't looked back. It works well, was easy to install and I've never had any issues with it.
