gears grind when shifting to 5th on high RPM
What's up people.. hopefully someone can help me. I drive a 2000 prelude.. and when I rev about 5.5+ and shift to 5th gear and the gears grind.. just wondering if anyone else has experience the problem and what should i do to fix this?

@ 5500 rpm? in 5th gear? how'd you notice that? I'd leave it. It'll cost you big bucks to fix, and how often do you use 5th (the guy noticed a high rpm grind going into 5th, maybe I shouldn't talk) I'm guessing the synchros and stuff ins't as strong for the overdrive.

The grinding occurs at high rpms going into 5th, not necessarily at 5500... when i drive hard from 1-2.. i shift to 5th because I'll be drive about 50+mph in 2nd... and the grinding occurs there... just wondering what was happening and if that is normal.... obviously that's not how I drive normally. Just wondering if I should be concerned with it and get it fixed... maybe warranty covers it.
