    It could be your pressure plate, my old s10 had a worn out third gear when I got it and that's what it was on mine.

    Is it Grinding? Popping out of gear? Really notchy/not even going in?

    It is most likely a bad syncrho.

    Try the GM synchromesh or Penzoil Synchromesh as mentioned

    I didn't say the rest of the gears shifted like butter lol, but third gear was almost IMPOSSIBLE to shift into, and I only replaced the pressure plate and it drove fine.

    You're beyond synchromesh if it's not staying in gear.

    GM Synchromesh [friction modified] is a GM part, only available at GM dealerships I love parking next to a Corvette at the dealership in a Honda to pick up a "part" for my car...lolol.

    I work at a collision center. I run for parts from time to time anywhere from Global to RBM to Lexus to Acura. Try me. It's a 4-tone primer 91 civic hatchback that's gutted and slammed.
