Hard To get into gear

Ok as some of you might know. I got a little project going on with my integra.
Its my daily driver to school and other personal reasons.
I been having serious problems getting it to go into first. When i try to shift it into first i have to be at almost a complete stop to get it to go in or it will grind. Here is the worst part. So i get at a stop light, and i put it in first, im on a hill, light turns green, I go and its in 3rd "face palm" almost 60% of the time i put it into 1st it goes in third and it sucks its embarassing and annoying and it needs to be fixed. The car will start to bog and almost and sometimes die because its to high of a gear for the motor at a complete stop. :guns: Ls Trannys suck :guns:.
Oh and then some times, most of the time, when i put it into third from second it grinds a little. Some people say the clutch, transmission fluid, cyncro's, gears idk. give me a diagnosis please.

Could be synchros, could be your shift linkage getting mis-aligned and shifting wrong. Could be your trans is just too far gone. How many miles on it?

it sounds to me like shift linkage. does it shift to 1st than slp to 3rd? or shift straight to 3rd?
