Well i think i did it now.... I think i fuggerd my 3rd gear syncro...

I was drving around and went to shift into third, and it ground....So i tried serveral ways..

1-2 ok at low rpm 3rd goes in if u ease it

1-2 ok normal shift to 3rd and it grinds

2-3 for cusing only works at 1500rpm or lower any higher and it grinds...

Coasting at 35mph 3rd grinds if normally shifted but if u ease it it goes right in..

Is this somthing i can fix? or is it a shop only? If i can fix it what do i need to do?
 
I'll bet it's a synchro. Depending on how mechanically enclined you are then you could replace it and the other 4. If youre going to replace one, replace them all, believe me, itll save you a big headache down the road.
