no it wont solve the problem......your synchronizers need to be replaced.......the 3rd gear grind is a common issue with standard honda transmissions......you will need to take the tranny out and either replace it, or bust it apart and replace the syncros....although i would never suggest doing this unless you KNOW what you are doing.

its not cheap.......but you don't want to cheap out when it comes to your tranny......i would get them to rebuild it.....it would be more reliable than a junkyard tranny! and plus im sure they would give you a warranty with the rebuild....most junkyard tannys only give you a 90 day warranty.
