1st gear grinds when car is moving....
the tranny on my car has supposedly been rebuilt, and it feels great when shifting, especially the shifter itself. the only problem i've run into is if the car is rolling forward and i try to put it in first, it grinds real bad.
the car was sold to me w a bunch of junk in it, and it looks like a clutch slave cylinder is amongst the parts. is that what would cause this?

Only grinds going into 1st, then the syncro is likely either worn, or not installed correctly.
If it was the clutch causing the issue, it would likely grind on all shifts, not just one gear.

Could also be a weak hydraulic system. You might want to try bleeding the system and see if that helps pull the clutch away from the flywheel. But yeah, you have to be damn near stopped before shifting down into 1st gear.
