grinding in 4th

i just got my sr last week and when i go into 4th, it grinds a bit. could it be bad syncros? i got rid of my honda and didnt think i'd have to be in this situation anymore! it also randomly pops out of 4th.

nismo clutch / lightened flywheel ... stock shifter

When your going into 4th is grinds? Or while its in 4th? Sounds like a bad synchro ring to me.

just when it goes in. if you sling it a little right (towards reverse) it goes in somewaht smoother

and it sometimes pops out

sounds like a syncro by the stuff i've been searching, but wondering your advice
