Default grinding into third gear.

Car shifts fine in all gear except for 3rd. There is a slight grind going into 3rd gear.
I can down shift into third with no grind just fine. While driving from 1st up, to avoid the 3rd gear grind, I go from 2nd into 4th back into 3rd and there is no grind. There is only grind when I go from 1st to 3rd or 2nd to 3rd.

any solutions? Motor is a h22a 5 speed

possibly a tranny flush will cure the problem?

Get a copy of a helms manual, buy a new 3/4 gear synchro hub assembly from hondapartsdeals.com, Crack open the tranny case and read the manual. Oh and have a few beers too.
