I have a problem only when I downshift from 4 to 1, 5 to 4 is fine. I have to slow down to a crawl before the gear will engane, there is some grinding. I heard it may be synchronizers, but it it was them wouln't I have an issue shifting from 1 to 5? Thnkz
DOn't shift from 4 to 1...downshift in order 4-3-2-1. Why would you shift from 1 to 5?
I was shorthanding... actually I meant 4-3-2-1 sequence..sorry for the confusion.
Low on gear oil maybe? It will sure act like that when low.

adjustment first. End float on the crankshaft can also give a shift problem like yours.
Why would you even attempt to shift into 1 at any speed above 0 (zero)? You should be using 2nd if you are not going to bother coming to a full stop. Shift from 4 to 2 or 5 to 2 if you are going to do a rolling stop.
