Answer my questions posted above and I can help you out a little better. Also list your power output and type of clutch.
And for the others that have posted here's a link to adjusting the clutch "properly"

Mine always wants to grind going into 3rd unless I put a little 'Wrist English' into it. Adjustments are within specs, fluid is stock and swapped per service intervals. I'm thinking the synchros are a either a bit worn or just funky. Has been like that since I brought her home with 7k on the ticker, 44k now, no change. Won't worry about it till something actually breaks.

I've had two Evo IXs with five-speeds, both of which were purchased new but grinded in either second or third (I can't remember which one) for the first few thousand miles. Like someone else said, fifth grinds once in a while if you're really accelerating hard and shift into fifth quickly, but it's nothing to get too worried about. It rarely ever happens now.
