Default Grinding on fast shifts

Around town and driving normally the tranny is fine. When I try to shift quickly I end up grinding the gears as its going in gear. I know my clutch is in all the way so thats not the issue. Any help?

It might not be the synchros. Like said before the clutch could be dragging which won't show up during normal driving except maybe some notchy shifting.

i had this problem on the 1-2 shift. it only happened when i shifted at 4000+ rpms. i think that i had the adjustable stops on my pro 5.0 set wrong, because i have since switched back to the stock hurst shifter and i no longer have this problem.

it was not cheap at all, it was under warantee. i bought an aftermarket warantee for my car when i first got it. parts + labor i think it was 2,000 bucks man. but i think they might have just did that so they could get more money out of the warantee company, i dunno. alls i know is i didnt pay a dime.
