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?

It's just part of it. My uncle has had nine 6th generation Celicas and five of them would grind going to 3rd. The grind being more prevalent when downshifting. It's due to the synchronizer having gone out. The only thing you can do is have it replaced. Personally wouldn't bother. He even had a new transmission put into one, only for the syncronizer to go out in it again.
