I have been having this problem with 3rd for about a week now and cannot understand it. First off 2000csvt. Secondly I grind when shifting into 3rd at high revs with the clutch fully pressed but when at low rpms I can put it into 3rd without a problem. Another weird point is that I can downshift from 4th to 3rd at any time without a problem and I have no problems with any other gear.
Since all the other gears have no problem at all, smooth as the day I got it, it cannot be the clutch right, because if the clutch was going then all the gears would be equally as diificult to use right. Not sure havent brought it in yet next week unless any suggestions other wise. My brothers ranger just had its clutch replaced at 140000 for the first time and when it was going out he had a problem with all the gears.
no clue guys
help

I agree. You're an idiot because: 1) you went so fast on an open road, and 2) you came here and posted about it. And like Horse said, who cares about maxing through 5th. It's meant as an overdrive gear, not a race gear.
