It didn't happen before you got the clutch?

Sacgns: it's common if your car has quite a few miles on it, just the synchros. my bro's old 92 accord did it all the time above 3,000 rpm

ya mine started grindin after i had the clutch replaced. but the dealership said it would be 2000 or somethin like that to fix the syncros because it isnt in warrenty. the best way to stop that is to just jerk that **** in gear at high revs so it only grinds a little other wise it grinds like a bitch.

I would change the fluid out as well. I know Audi says "lifetime" but that is just foolish in my opinion. I always change manual transmission fluid every 15-20k miles. From my experience with other cars, a fluid change on higher mileage cars usually helped to prolong the need for a transmission rebuild when syncros were suspected of being worn. I know what worn syncros feel like and it isn't fun. I hope this helps. Try some Redline MTL or MT-90.

Yep, I was just about to say fluid too. I used to have grinding problems from time to time and did a manual transmission drain/fill and it went away.
