Ok guys my second gear was replaced about 1,000 miles ago, along with my new 2100 act clutch and new lightweight flywheel, and throwout bearing..

I was having a problem shifting into any of the gears. it would sometimes go into gears but I had to press the clutch in real hard and the gears would grind rally bad before going in, and there was a ratling noise which i thought it was my throwout bearing ,since whenever i pushed the clutch in it would go away when at idle, but when i was driving the noise would never go away even if i pressed the clutch..so i went and changed my throwout bearing again and it didn't fix the problem. I also changed my slave and master cylinder. I took my tranny out AGAIN and took it to a tranny place..when the guy took the gears apart one of the bearings on the bottom desintegrated..could this have been my problem of not being able to go into any of the gears? and my rattling noise? or could it be something else, like the clutch? he checked all the gears and the synchros and he said they all looked good..Is there a way of knowing if my clutch went bad? thanks for the help guys..
:thumb: and here's a picture it's not the actual one but that's the bearing that desintegrated..

Yes, if that bearing was bad, the shaft would wobble and you would have a difficult time getting it into gear. There would be a lot of grinding and rattling.
 
your original problem may be due to engagement problems, I would make sure your fork is not worn out. Generally when I do clutch jobs I suggest replacing the;

Master
slave
fork
pivot ball (I also shim it with a stock head bolt washer)
T/o Bearing & clip



Ive noticed most forks that come out of a dsm, the clip on the back that secures it to the pivot tends to bend on aftermarket pressure plates, at least the ones with decent mileage on them. better safe than sorry :)
 
how are the syncronizers after all that grinding? you might want to check those out since you have it all apart.
