Mine does that too. I think it has to do with the clutch hydraulic hose having a restriction from the factory. Do a search for the drill mod, I'm planning on doing that soon.

Mine grinds when I'm trying to accelerate quickly and I shift hard from first to second. If I'm just cruising around though and shift it smooth it doesn't grind. I figured it might be a synchro.

If you're getting it in multiple gears it's more than likely a clutch or alignment problem. Synchros going usually only show up in 1 or 2 gears.
