Trouble getting into 1st gear (t56, z28,2000)
Sometimes it slips right in, but at other times it completely refuses to go in. There is also a bit of grinding ,but its rareCould it be the syncros ? Or air on the hydraulic system ?

Yeah, I had this problem a few years ago when I let the reservoir run dry by mistake. When it refuses to go in first, try pumping the pedal 5 or so time while in neutral and then see if it will go in first. If so, it's hydraulic issue. I picked up a motive power bleeder and pressure bled from the top - great and inexpensive tool to bleed/flush brakes and clutch...

Changing the cluch fluid didn't do the trick. I believe it's going to be the syncros because it only gives me trouble in 1st and 3rd . Sometime it grinds in third at high rpm's. is this a good way of releasing air from the hydraulic system and would it help in any way --->
