3rd gear grinds
ok i have a 93 accord ex 145000 5speed and when i go from 2nd to 3rd i have to shift in the perfect exact spot (and slowly) or else it will grind .
if im around 2500rpm it usaully doesnt do it but around 3000 to 4000 it i have to be perfect or else i get a little grind.
ok so could it be
a bad gear
bad tranny
or me just sucking at shifting
and about what would it cost to get a rebuild or something thanks a lot

RE: 3rd gear grinds
Try this next time you go for a drive:
Shift from 2nd into neutral. Let the clutch out and bring the engine speed up to about 3500 rpm -- hold it there, put the clutch back in, and try to engage 3rd. If it slides into gear smoothly, it's a synchro problem. If it grinds and doesn't want to engage 3rd, it's an internaltransmission problem.
