Default Transmission Grinding???

The other day when I was driving my car I noticed that when I downshifted from 5th to 4th gear that it grinded really bad, but if I shift from 4th to 5th it does not do it. Is it my 4th gear syncronizer going out? How much does it cost to get it fixed?
thanks
Chris

Oh my God! I hope it does not cost that much. Oh well I can stand the problem as it is for a while then. Has anyone else had any syncro work done of their cars?
thanks

I just got in from getting an estimate. Im having my 5th gear replaced and syncro, they said if I take it out and bring it up there they would do it for 900-1000k. Which I think is high. I'm not sure what a good price is. I would like to know some more feedback.

Well
If you were in Texas I can Replace all the syncros for about 60 Bucks plus parts.
The Syncro Kits is about 160 Bucks.
It takes about 3 hours after the tranny is on my work bench.

If you want to send it to me let me know
I have down about 5 here in Austin Texas and so far they are all still running.

Thanks for the info! I know I probably won't be able to get you my car even though I wish I could but I appreciate the offer. I have a guy up here who just put in my clutch for me and he was pretty reasonable. I will probably take it to him when I get the money.
thanks again
