Re:gear grinding

Mine has that nasty 3rd gear grind too. I haven't changed the oil in a while, so i think i'll do that when all this damn snow melts and see if it helps any. Would slightly thicker be better?

ive also heard good stuff about other synchromesh oils, espically in chattery LSD trannys
