Default Grinded 3rd. worst possible scenario?

so i grinded third at about 6500 on my type s. i didnt force it in.. as soon as i heard the sound i was like "oh ****" and went back in neutral. after that i was able to drive home with no problems... will be experiencing any problems later down the line in my tranny because of this? thanks.

You should be alright, might want to try some Redline tranny fluid and magnetic drain bolts.

I've been having problems with my third gear, but only when the trannies cold. Such as when I go to work in the morning or when I haven't driven it in awhile. However, that pop-out **** can be pretty annoying. I try and force it in a little more to make sure I get it in third. It seems to be hard to get in third when I'm first driving it. Gets annoying.
