A few months ago I had a problem getting into third gear. So I take the car to a recomended trans. mech. The guy took 3 and a half weeks to get the 3rd gear syncro replaced. I was happy to get it back after it sat in his parking lot for almost a month. And I couldnt get into reverse. The guy put a cap or something on backwards wich made it pop out of gear. Another 3 days without my SVT. When I got it back the second time I started driving and all seemed well. I took it easy for a while just incase the new part needed to wear in. Last week I was racing a beefed up civic and pulling through first and second. then third gear just grinded. (when I had the problem the first time I couldnt up or down shift now I cant upshift in high rpms but can down shift to third at 5 g's with no prob) And its hard to push into first's gate from a dead stop.

My tranny and mechanic suck!!!!!!!!!

Any sugestions other than take it back to mr badwrench? (mr goodwrench is not the place I took the car...just thought it was funny)

Bleed the clutch and brakes very well, check the trans fluid level....or dump out what they put in and add the correct amount of fluid (Redline MTL seems to work well, but if your synco is bad...again...ATF+3 w/FM) and if it's STILL there.....double clutch going into 3rd until you can find a better local shop or what many CEG'ers do and go through Terry Haines.
