I am also experiencing a problem like yours. My third gear is grinding and sometimes fourth and fifth depending on how I am driving. I was told that the synchros need to be replaced. I just ordered a synchro kit through a site I found (http://www.gear-speed.com) on the web. I don't which will be cheaper for you, buying a new tranny or buying parts and having it rebuilt. Do the math first and make sure the mechanic is a transmission specialist and not just a regular "joe mech" . A specialist would Know more of the "ins" and "outs" of a tranny and allow you to make a more informed decision.
