Default 5th Gear Grind . . . Driving Me CRAZY!!!

Well dudes, my car was grinding 5th so i went to the local honda dealership and bout 3 quarts of Honda MTF. The salesman told me it should take 3 quarts but after i got home and read a manual it said that the tranny usually takes 1.8 quarts and should not be overfilled. I filled it as instructed in the manual. It basically said to finger the tranny until you feel that the fluid level is correct. Thats what i did but the frikkin car is still grinding like THe Clipse and Pharrell.

I did a couple searches here and didnt find anything too usefull . . . maybe i didnt search enuff . .. but ...

i just want to kno if going by wut the honda man told me is wut i should do and add more or maybe try something different. ive hear of redline and syncromesh, but i heard Honda MTF was the best. ANybody kno if i have a bigger problem ahead of me like clutch or actually getting my syncros in the tranny fixed. Im planning on gettin rid of the car, i mite just leave it for the next man, its fucked up but sometimes u just gotta do it.

any suggestions i mean ANY. woiuld be helpful.

'97 accord LX by the way.
