When you did your 3rd gear burnout, clutch disc dust fell to the spine and the disc is likely sticking. It should free up with time.

well back to square one the nochiness went away then came back even more pissed off. but this time i was ripping through the gears from 1st at about 20 rolls in it. not missing any gears. calmed down and went to take off at a stop light normaly and what do u no 1st would not engage. sometimes i could get it in but that was from forcing it in and had equal hard time getting it out. all other gears are fine wich is leading me to think that the synchro is all boogered up. any more input?

maybe just a re-alignment of the shift rod needs to be done to fix in 1st gear.

Heaving similar issues, but I didn't do any burnouts, hell I rarely get past 6000rpm. My clutch fluid was nasty so I sponged some out and put some in, but im gonna actually bleed it tomorrow morning. Really hope that cures my 1st gear issue
