Your 3rd gear synchro is starting to go. It will eventually get worse and worse and eventually it will pop out of 3rd on turns and then it'll pop out all the time and then it wont go in at all.

Run Synchromesh through your car...the Pennzoil stuff IS the GM stuff, GM just purchases it, slaps their name on it and jacks up the price.

Put 2.3 QTS of that in there, and in a few hundred miles the grind will be gone. This is only a temp fix in the long run though.

Yeah, use that and your issue will go away for a while, and then come back later down the road. Ultimately you will need to replace your synchro.

Your trans takes 2.3 qts of fluid...so get three quarts. Get it in and drive, typically it takes between 50-1000 miles for it to work. But since its such a small grind, then it'll be gone in less than 200.
