Ok here is the situation. my father gave me his gt. ive done complete tune up, both axels, battery, rear sturts. now here is were im at now. when you start the car and put first gear and take off there is no problem, 2nd gear no problem nowwww....putting 3rd gear is the problem. the clutch is pressed in, as your trying to put in 3rd there is a craakkkk. the same noise that u hear when the cluch in not pressed in all the way and u tryin to shift gears. its not the clutch b/c there is still preassure and it not slipping, not the tranny, my guess the cables. i looked at them today and they seemed ok. once 3rd gear is in it works just fine, i drove around with the plastic cover off the the noice seem to come from the assembly were the shifter sits on. but i dont see how that could cause that noise.

well there are ways around this. mine made a sweet clunking noise like in fast and the furious when he shifted for my 3rd gear. Its my synchro, but only has issues in higher RPM such as 4k and up. Since i dont race my car or drive like a jackass in 2nd gear I really havent had any issues over the past year with.

Also you said you did a tune up but did you change the transmission fluid. IF you did in the past when, how many miles are on the car. IF you havent done this then get on it. Drain your fluid and use BG Synchro Shift. It will help with any synchro problems you have. Depending on how bad yours is right now it may not do much for your 3rd gear but it will preserve your others.
