Default Low mile tranny shift problems

Last year I popped second gear out of my t-56. So after waiting too long for my local trans shop to fix it, I decided to get a tranny off of ebay. The listing claimed to have only 11,800 miles on the trans. Also it had a hurst shifter in it, which I decided to use in mine. So I put it in, refilled it with Valvoline conventional dex III. Now when I drive it 3rd and 4th gear grind just a little bit when I shift it, both WOT and normal driving. My old tranny, with 79,000 miles didnt do that. Should I try a different fluid? Is the Hurst shifter at fault?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sounds like it may be syncro related.

Do you think they could be ruined in just 11k?
