Default 3rd Gear problems and starting engine problem

Every once in a while when i wanna go into third gear it gets a little stuck and i have to give it a little more push to pop it into gear. what could the problem be?

Also, my car makes a quiet scratchy sound when i turn it on. I leave it in first when i turn it off and leave it on the E-break.

People swear by GM Synchromesh fluid. Don't have a manual, so can't say for sure.

amsoil will take care of that.

it's somewhat typical for a honda to grind 3rd in almost every model they make... even directly off the showroom floor. But steps can be taken to alleviate that annoyance.

I didn't have great lasting success with GM in my integra... but it did help for quite a while.
