Sounds like you have a worn syncronizer. I have heard of people trying GM Syncromesh fluid, and some other types of fluid to smooth out the problem. Replacing the worn parts is really the only way to solve the problem.

do you refer to all your friends as "my boy" ? sounds jolly good my boy. shifting to early would not produce a noise. riding the clutch, not using the clutch, missshifting, would cause a nice grind. otherwise its as said before. is it like a fat *** grind and its throwing it out of gear, or just a little click ?

I had the same prob in my H22, but in 3rd and 5th. I put in GM synchromesh FM(I have LSD) and ALL the grinds are gone now. The only way to fix the prob is with new parts, but GM Syn will get by ....
