3rd gear grindage

[Brad98_teg]

Ok, so for the last couple of days when i take 2nd gear to the higher RPMs and shift to 3rd it makes a quick sound of a grind. During normal driving or if I do take 2nd into the high RPMs and before i shift let it fall to about 4k then there is no grind. So Im trying to think of what could be causing this, my rear motor mounts?syncro's?tranny fluid needing replacment? :bh anyone have an idea of what this could be?
thanks.

it could be a few things. i would check the tans fluid level and add if needed. it sounds like bad syncro's. or maybe even a worn clutch, clutch master cylinder, or slave. have you added anything like a short throw shifter, i've seen peps put them on backwards. hope this helps. later

Its all stock and the tranny fluid was replaced at 65,000 and i just hit 93,000
I'm pretty sure its not my clutch...but i will try to get it all checked out soon.

EDIT: get the friction-modified one

The answer to all grindage

As good as synchrmesh is, it won't save the grinding if the synchro's are bad. And it sure does sound like a synchro problem (high rpm grinding, but goes away at low rpm's).

However, I do recommend doing a simple tranny fluid change. At about 30k, I would definately recommend changing the fluid out ASAP.

I see what your saying but, what could it hurt? im sure my third gear synchro is down to nothing but you couldnt tell by driving it even at high rpms
