Occasionally while driving, my transmission whenever going into 3rd gear. I know the tranny was replaced earlier before I bought the car, but what could the grind mean? I'm going to try to put Synchromesh transmission fluid and see if that could fix it, but what else could it be?

My shifts better into 3rd when it's cold. After it starts warming up, it doesn't grind in, but it feels like there is a decent amount of tension. If I floor it in 2nd up to 3,000rpm and then shift into 3rd, it goes in without and trouble. I think my syncro is slowly starting to go.
