Default third gear grind

If i were to change my transmission fluid would it get better or prevent other synchronizers from going out. or should i just get new synchronizers.

I had a little grind in 3rd gear once I changed my fluid and it is smooth now. It depends on how bad the syncros are and what fluid you are using. I would change the fluid and if still happens then change the syncros

You could also use redline fluid. That stuff works good
