Default Vibrating 3rd gear?

Lately, I have noticed that when I'm shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, I get a slight vibration. It doesn't occur as I'm leaving 2nd, but it does when I go from the distance of N to 3rd. Could this be my syncros going bad? I've heard that's one of the 1st symptoms of syncro issues on the T3650. I have about 32,500 miles on the Mach and I don't have anything done to it that would effect the tranny, except my MGW STS.

I baby her. I've had the Mach since it had only 7,500 miles on it and I've only went through gears maybe 1 time.

Hmmm so it could possibly be the syncros? How do I go about upgrading? Just take it into Ford and tell them what's going on?
