You are probably gonna need a rebuild. Sounds like you cracked a synchronizer ring or just ground the synchros to pieces. Could also be a bent shift fork. There is no way around it, you will have to ge *** fixed. Having been there it is cheaper to just buy a rebuilt for about $1500 then deal with buying the few parts you need and the $700 or so for a rebuild. A synchro alone can run you between $180 -$300 depending on the year and which one it is.

well...just use 3rd gear and waste your clutch, and get it all fixed at the same time.

But really, that sucks...part of the reason i dont want to get a DSM is because they have problems with the synchros in the trans, almost ALWAYS 2nd gear grinds.

head gaskets are fine if you use the mitsubishi one, not aftermarket...another thing is the timing belt, if i get one thatll be the first thing i do.
