3rd gear
 

the only way i can shift into 3rd (marked second on the stick since ive got low) is if i shift it like u would a semi by not using the cluth or double clutching otherwise it just grinds. it doesnt matter if im up or downshifting. what would be causing this? thanks for the help

sounds like the sencros are going out

agreeing with the syncros going out

thats what i was thinking but i didnt know if it was known for it kinda like the 5th gear nut problem...

nope
