Default >>3rd gear problem!!!!!!!!!!!

hi guys i searched the forums and still dont know what my problem is! when my cars tranny is usally cold like after sitting for a few hours after normal temps my trannys third gear seems to require more effort to put into gear its like i feel the gear going in like step by step like the syncros are lining up step by step its very weird and if i force it into gear fast it will make a grinding noise and it also does this when im at a dead stop and i just jamm it ito third gear it will grind, and this problem occurs at low rpm but if i shift at high rpm it will grind becase i force it into gear but if my tranny is fully warmed up third gear is fine most of time even at high rpm no grinding will happen. my clutch hydralics was completly flushed last month and i cycle the fluid throgh the resoirvoir weekly, and this only occurs to third gear. but i have not yet done the drill mod! but what can this be????? thanks guys

Well sounds like the typical 3rd gear woes T-56 get.
A teardown & inspection of the trans is gonna have to be done.
read the FAQ sticky at the top of this section.

Yeah...sounds like the start of third gear taking a crap. Prob going to need a rebuild...have you had any third gear miss-shifts? If so...it is most likely the problem.
