Hi, I have a 93' hatchback with a manual. Anyway I was having problems shifting, to be exact i had to force the shift knob into gear because it was so hard to move. Anyway I took it to a clutch shop who said I need new hydraulics, slave and master. I didn't trust them so i wrote it off. About 2 days later my clutch went out. I replaced it and the shifting is MUCH better but there is still hesitation/grinding in gears. My question is, does this sound like syncros, hydraulics, or maybe even clutch adjustment? Neither of the cylinders leak and my pedal comes back up fine. I read the faq on pedal adjustment but does adjusting it with a wrench work as well?(what i did). If the hydraulics are out I want to fix it immediately seeing as it's an easy repair and can damage the clutch. Thanks for your help ahead of time.

How many miles on your car? If its grinding its probably your synchros, mine is hard to put into gear sometimes, and it grinds 3rd if I shift to quickly or whatever...

has about 97k, I am just going to replace the cylinders since they are only about 30 bucks for the both of them at autozone and I have a day off work (;.
