Question for the experts (or anyone who has a general idea 
). I have an 86t that I did a manual swap in. Not the first swap I've done, so I'm pretty certain I did everything right. The car drives wonderful. Except when I try to shift.
It makes grinding sounds almost like the synchros are bad. However, I find this to be doubtful, because if I come to a stop and go into first gear, there's no grinds at all .. until about 5-7 seconds later, when it sounds like a grind. The rememdy is to either put it in neutral and let the clutch out, OR, just pop the clutch enough to roll a couple inches. The sound goes away, but comes back.
My thought is perhaps the clutch assembly is flawed. Or maybe the pressure plate bolts are backing off?
I guess my question really is... Should I be buying a new clutch, or a new tranny? The clutch is OEM and I want to upgrade to a performance clutch. .. But not if I need to rebuild the tranny/buy a new one.
