Definetely a syncro issue, what you can do to preserve the life of it is go and get some GM Syncromesh and flush out your old tranny fluid and put that in. Then avoid going into 3rd gear for about 1000 miles 1 2 4. Try it after 1000 miles and it should be a little better. Well, thats how it worked for me anyways, grinds are very minimal now
