2008 fit sport 5 speed manual issues

Ok a little back story so I bought a 2008 honda fit with 177k miles on it for 2500 bucks off some car salesmen the car seems to have an aftermarket exhaust and possibly other after market parts definitely has a k&n air filter seems to be lowered as well suspension feels kinda rough and the alignment is a little bit off definitely drives alot faster then I expected it too and my coworker said he had an 07 manual fit and this one is way faster and torquay

So my main issue is after having the car for about a month it's starting to grind gear 1 2 just really feels like it's in and waaaaaank and yesterday I drove for about 2 hours on the high way and toward the end it started popping out of 5th gear now that that's happen it just feels hard to shift into any gear any thoughts ?

I'm figurin I'm probably going to need to rebuild the transmission butt just being hopefully someone on here might be able to point me in the right direction

You might check the MT fluid and replace it. But if the car is popping out of gear, the problem may be more serious,

Good luck.

Wow that was really difficult to read without any punctuation

Yeah I doubt any amount of flud change will helpt at this point, seems like it's toast. Rebuilding isn't too difficult (I've done it and I'm a complete idiot) but I doubt it will make any sense since you'll probably have to replace with OEM Honda parts and it will be $$$. IMO getting a junkyard transmission would be better, but YMMV depending on availability and costs wherever you are.
