Default Trouble getting into third?

I was driving a friends car tonight and it seems to have a problem getting into third some of the time it will go smooth and others you will have to push pretty hard to get it to engage and not kick back out. Any ideas?

Sounds like the same problem I'm having except in fourth. It's probably the 3-4 shift fork like mine. They're made from aluminum and don't hold up very well. I'm going to the iron one.

Yes , the 3/4 fork would be my guess as well.

Is this the problem where it gets stuck 1/2 way going into third? Cuz my car does the same thing, but I think it might be due to a bad master cylinder and dragging clutch.
