Default tranny quest

i always have a hard time shifting into 1st and 2nd the gears always grind in and my pedal is wobbly when driving due to a bad throw out bearing . What i wanted to know is that could it be just my throw out bearing that is making have a hard time shifting or could it be synchros that are damaged

I have a bad 2 synchro, and it sometimes doesnt want to go in, or it goes in and wants to pop out.

i would replace the throw out. if its chattering then its deff not helping you. worst case while the tranny is out pop the cover off and look at the syncros and egars make sure there is no damage. my second grinds on quick shifts only and 3rd wont go in unless its been in another gear and hasnt sat in nuetral.
