There's really only one way to find out. Change the clutch and do the drill mod if you havnt already. I wouldnt be surprised if your tranny is good to go. Although I cant really say that there isnt something messed up in there either. I just figure, why spend money before it breaks.

All opinion i guess. If i was upgrading the trans i would just do it when i could and not wait. But you are not wrong... you could also wait because it should just fine and there may be nothing wrong with it.
LSs1Power - Maybe the 3/4 shift fork is bent... tends to happen a lot. Try putting in a steel one and your problems may go away. Clutch could be problem to but your already chaning that. If you don't want to go with a full blown rebuild, start out with the cheap things first and hopefully one of them fixes the problem. Unless you can take it apart yourself and find out.

I dont think its the clutch causing this problem. I had the same problem when the SPEC 3 was in the tranny. I know what a blown clutch feels like, but this problem doesnt feel like a clutch problem at all. I was thinking about the 3/4 forks, but i read that there is no way to bend it. So what else could it be. The only way i can get the car in third is to wait until the tranny rest with no load on it. If i floor it and try to shift fast 3rd gear wont be there until the tranny rest back.
My point was since im taking the clutch out we can do the rebuild at the same time... I was just wondering what would i need to buy to make it a strong smooth tranny.

I would say go for a full rebuild and replace what ever needs to be. Mine sounded like yours, just not as bad. I had to have a lot of stuff replaced. I ended up buying a used one that is suppose to be raced preped. I am going to take mine down to liberty and have it proshifted and then have a spare.
