3rd gear grind :(

On cold start, its fine. But after driving around for a while, warmed up and all, grinds going second to third. No other gear. Makes me sad any suggestions?

My car is a 99 Impreza L around 170xxx on it.

I had a slight grind from third to 4th at high rpms. I did uncle Scottie's cocktail Mix for the tranny and never had it again.

Have you changed your tranny fluid? I had a slight grind into 5th while I had my GC and I put in Red Line Superlight weight shock proof and I had no issues after that.

You can do a search on NASIOC for uncle Scotty's.

Here is a link. I swear by it!! Smooths out the gear box (Atleast for me) Bartender: One Scotty's cocktail please. - NASIOC

Now given this is for a wrx. So as to the amount of fluid your trans takes I'm not sure

Thanks guys. Really appreciate the input. Must try it once I get money. I think one off my local shop carries it. What's typical price?

I think amazon had it for a decent price if you can wait.

If you do Scotty's cocktail, read at the latest threads: formula changed. I'm gonna try it soon.

Edit: Ah, rev robs link is a direct shot to the latest.

You can get the pennz synchromesh and hypoy locally if amazon shipping is too much. The shockproof heavy is prolly cheaper online.
