crunkride is an unknown quantity at this point
It's likely a syncro - these trannies are notorious for it. The syncro itself is very expensive to replace. Replacement transmissions are cheap, but you are gambling this problem on every one you buy. In my experience, just get the new syncros. As rwtf said, oil can help a bad syncro...depending on your climate/driving style, read up on some of the trans fluid threads that would best suit your application. Don't get something too thin (some of the redline synthetics) that will cause the syncro to keep spinning. Something thick enough to slow it down when shifting...

research proper fluid>replace fluid>problem still there? Y=time for a new syncro N=golden!
