Has anyone else had trouble shifting hard to 3rd without grinding? Even when the clutch is floored, my brother's 2000 SE PP grinds slighty when shifted aggressively.
none at all here.....i can throw it into third as fast as i can and only put the clutch down 3/4 of the way. (to be safe, i probably could do it at like a 1/2)

That is really bad. How fast of a shift are we talkin'? I think the problem might be in the synchros. If you shift slow and it works but does it on a fast shift, it is definitely synchro related. You might try a different tranny fluid next oil change. I know redline advertises that their fluid optimizes synchro performance for aggressive driving. Else, Slow Down!

I have been frequenting grind central while racing but in 5th not in 3rd. I'm guessing that its just me not pushing the clutch in long enough but how can I tell if it isnt?
