There's no smell coming around the shift boot. It only grinds for a split second when I turn the car on. The clutch fluid was fine, I'll change out the tranny fluid this weekend and hope for improvements.

that is a link to a write up I did for adjusting the pedal.
I hope it's not my synchros. I don't have money right now to spend on rebuilding a tranny. I'm guessing it'd be a lot cheaper to just buy a SR tranny.

Yeah...I'm really hoping it's not my synchros. I'm really not sure though. I can shift smoothly through all the gears in the city. I can go WOT and shift fine through all the gears (without banging through them). It's just when I'm moderately accelerating when I have trouble with 4th.
