Default Del sol 3rd gear grind!! Help

B16 always grinds going into third low Rpms or high Rpms. This only happened after I changed my mounts to stiffer mounts and running a stage 4 clutch. I even changed trannys and it still does it. Also I'm running a synchromesh too. If I shift fast it grinds but if I depress the clutch and wait a few seconds it won't grind going into third. What could be my deal here??

by replacing the motor mounts...it would not have caused the trans to all of a sudden start grinding going into 3rd, regardless.

I've heard the B series has a knack for 3rd gear grinding.
