My car was grinding going into 2nd unless I slow shift so I put a new clutch in and changed the fluid...What could be wrong? I read something about the passenger side mount making it do that and mine is torn...Any ideas what wrong?

I meant 2nd on title

Have you checked your rear mount also? Bad mounts can cause this but usually the synchro damage has already been done.
 
I have a somewhat similar problem. Mine happens mostly with 1st, 2nd, and reverse. It only happens when it is hot out and I have been driving for about 10-15 minutes. I have tried tranny fluid (synthetic), poly shifter bushings, all 4 new mounts (all 4 were ripped, but replacing with new ones did nothing). I have a new clutch waiting to go in, just short on funds to have it done.
