My 99 se 5-speed developed a problem shifting into third and on occassion 5th. If I am "racing" or even just shifting normally into 3rd, it grinds unless I shift it really slowly into gear. It's not a huge problem with daily driving because I can just shift like that or I just skip third and go right to 4th or 5th gear if accelerating hard. Has anyone else had this problem? Any idea what it could be? I've heard that these cars have some tranny issues. FYI car has about 70k miles on it it has been doing this for sometime now
