why is 3rd gear grinding?

everytime i shift at high rpms it grinds hard in 3rd even if i am shifting slowly. It doesnt do it when im downshifting though. I recently had my clutch and flywheel replaced.

what is causing this problem?

tranny fluid? synchros?

thanks guys

synchro related problem. They usally come in sets of 2. Be prepared to spend some money. Whats tranny code ?

Would it help if he did a little double clutching into 3rd?

Yep. Your best bet (cheapest) would be to try putting some
gm synchromesh in the tranny and see if that eliminates the problem.
