Default Syncronizers?

I've just strated noticing a problem with my transmission. When i'm trying to shift very fast from second to third i grind my gears. I have my clutch completly to the floor and it still does this, but doesn't if i shift slow. people have told me my syncronizers are goin bad and they tell me it is a common problem among fords. have any of ya'll ever experienced this?

yeah it's like your brakes.....they wear out from using them.

original tranny still ? a t5 rebuild is about $300 if you bring them the trans.

umm it's not made to shift that fast. its only a little trans. it will not take a lot of power and hard shifting.
