Default transmission problem - popping out of 3rd gear

okay tonight i go to do a pull and i grind 3rd gear a bit (its been grindy) and then i go to put it back in and it will go into 3rd but as soon as i give any gas, it'll rev like its in neutral and i will not go anywhere. all the other gears are fine

could it be that i'm just low on tranny fluid or is my synchro just shot?

Try holding it into 3rd gear, and if it still doesn't grab and it pop pop pop's and bounces your car, it's definately shot! I had that happen with my ZC, so I bought a S40 tranny from a 2000 Model EX for only 350 shipped.

synchros are shot. i have only had them pop out of gear when only letting off the gas not hitting the gas... just wait until you have all of your gears pop out except first.... very very very fun
