Mine's been doing that forever. Now it's doing it in 4th gear as well.
I've discovered a secret, when shifting into 3rd or 4th, hold the clutch in and before putting it in gear, just wait about a 1/10 a second then put it in gear, that works for me.
When you're running hard and smashing through the gears it's hard to remember to do that (I still grind all the time) But that moment's hesitation will prolong the synchro's for a little longer.

change the fluid in the trans...
my mystique had a slight grinding noise when shifting in to second in the cold weather, or sometimes when the trans was cold. so far new fluid and friction modifier have doen the trick, will see how it goes this winter.

the grinding is the syncronizer for third gear is blown i have the same problem with second gear and the thing is everytime you grind the gear is is destroying the gear itself so eventualy you will have to rebuild the tranny my suggestion is either get it rebuilt now or dont use the gear as much as possible untill you can get the tranny rebuilt

if you shift from 2nd gear to 3rd gear at low RPMs you wont grind it...when I'm high on the RPM band of if I tach my car out it grinds really bad. I highly reccomend a tranny fluid change and adding slick50 trans treatment really does wonders!

They call that the "granny shift" - I also have it in 3rd gear and started the day I got it back from getting a new clutch.... wierd huh? - JOE

I hope mine will last for a long time, cause I'm not in any position for any type of tranny rebuild.

mine started at the same amout of miles about 5 months after i got the car just hold in the clutch a little longer just a split second to let the rev drop a bit, that works best it won't hurt your clutch unless you leave your foot on the gas.
