Default Grinding in 3rd gear

91 Fox GT
New King Cobra Clutch
New Clutch Cable

Car runs nice, but it grinds in 3rd every single time. Whether I'm gearing up or down, {{{grind}}}. I can push past the grind and it goes into 3rd and it'll shift out of third fine. I've adjusted the cable over and over but it still grinds. Actually, I can get it into 3rd without grinding if I'm going at just the right speed.

What can I do?

you need to rebuild the tranny focusing on the third gear blocker ring and sincro hub which is part of the third gear....the teeth may be mushroomed[:@]
