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?

Wow i've had this issue the entire time i've had the car. Upshift into 3rd when it's below freezing causes it to grind. Downshifting into 3rd grinds about half the time. I thought it might be shift bushings since the rubber was deteriorated in them, haven't gotten to changing them since it too cold though. Also thought about having it rebuilt to find the cause but synchromesh sounds like a better plan.

Question: Are there better synchro options in case one has it rebuilt?
