Trans. problems-Where and How much?
Ok,
here it is- I can't get the car to go in to first without massive grinding or unless I'm at a complete stop. obviously I gotta pull the trans and redo the synchros. (5th grinds too).
Where is the best place to get parts?

The 5th gear grinding is your synchros check with mazdaformance.com for OEM replacements. As far as 1st goes though, every manual car (including my FD) I've ever driven has always been very hard to shift to 1st unless the car was stopped or going very slowly (<5mph). I think this is normal.
