Default tranny trouble

This made me realllllly mad, one day while driving to a car show in boston, whenever I would shift into 3rd gear I would get a grind as it would go in. I had to baby it as much as possible to get it to stop grinding. This was all a couple days ago, and since then it has been fine. I dont know what the hell the problem is, its an 03 gt with 12k miles. I've been told it can be a few things, the clutch, bent shifter forks, or the syncros. Has anyone had this problem, or know what the heck is wrong??

I have the exact same problem, I just posted a new post on this EXACT problem!! Does yours still do it? Mine started on the way back from the track, and its REALLY pisses me off. In fact, I have been doing donuts and trying to rip the gears out because I don't give a F anymore...lol. So when did yours finally quit??</P>

Shouldn't be the clutch, I'd look at the forks, change the tranny fluid and look into a shifter - THEN worry about synchro's.

redneck it only did it that one day really bad, butt I'm realizing now that it was causing me problems before, and I had thought it was something else, for a couple months now whenever I would try to bang third gear I'd say 90% of the time it would grind, very annoying<IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0"> deff going to the dealer. anyone know if my pro50 shorty shifter will void the warrantee?? even though it is only helping prevent damage, I dont know how the dealer would take it</P>
