Grinding: 2nd to 5th
So I was having fun and redlining in 2nd and I shifted to fifth because I was getting onto the interstate.
Upon shifting my transmission graced me with a grinding.
Is this an obvious don't do that, ******* duh type thing? Bad synchros?
Regardless, I'm not going to do it again. But I'm just curious if it's indicative of a larger problem.

I do it sometimes, Mine doesnt grind, but it isnt a good thing to do. Your best bet would be to at least, with the clutch in, go through the rest of the gears. If it still shifts fine then you should be ok.

7000rpm --> 2500rpm probably isn't supposed to happen.

just double-declutch it. when you redline 2nd:
clutch in
pop it in neutral ,
clutch out
wait until the rpm's drop to maybe around 3000 or lower
clutch in
put it in 5th
clutch out.
Just to let you know, FD guys commonly break their 5th gear syncro doing that kind of hard shifting by accident

Ok what about if it just grinds ALWAYS when shifting from 4th to 5th? That would be sychros right.. Or the fact that I drove 2k miles on no tranny fluid.....
