Default Need Help, Grinding!

88 5L 5spd, just bought the car, the car grinds going into 2nd, 3rd & 4th every time, i've adjusted the clutch cable a million times, tranny has fluid in it, using stock shifter with shorty handle.

Help!

My guess would be it's a problem internally in the transmission.
