Default Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't ??

If I'm driving normal ever gear will go in except 3rd? I can push down the clutch, place it in 3rd gear position but as soon as I let go of the clutch it spits it out. Ok here is the weird part, if I'm racing or at high rpm's 3rd gear works fine, goes right in.

Any idea what it can be??

It's hurt, rebuild now before you really break something and cost yourself unnecessary money.

Rebuild huh?

I was hoping not to hear that but I guess it's about that time, car only has 60,000 miles on it, but I guess that's what I get for driving the crap out of it.

Sounds like synchro key issue, rebuild time unfortunately. Get billet keys installed during rebuild if you have the money. Good luck.
