Default Tranny grinds

I have a 98 Civic Ex 5 speed and sometimes the gears grind but its only when im going hard and shifting to third. What are all the possible things that could be wrong and what can i do to fix this cause it sucks *** having to slow down just to shift and then get on it again...

Synchros likely. You have to rebuild and replace the synchros.

You can try some GM Friction Modified Synchromesh, it won't cure it but it might mask it.
