Arrow Tranny help !

Hey everyone!,
Im having trouble with , i quess my tranny or the clutch (something). I really dont know.
Yesterday i was driving to work, when i went from 2nd to 3rd my 3rd gear grinded but it went in normally after. I though it was just me messing up.
The next stop light came and when i went from 2nd to 3rd it did the same grindy sound. The same thing continues to happen so i jump from 2nd to 4th (daily driver)!!
The 2k has 36k miles original clutch and never given me a clutch problem!
HELP!!!!

Amsoil tranny fluid fixed my problem for this, 1500 miles later and not a grind since turning away from honda MTF. I know many people swear by the honda, I did a fresh change with the honda mtf and it grinded 5 miles later, no more problems with amsoil. It is a matter of personal preference and driving style though.

I have had great success with GM syncromesh friction modified, if you search you will see that a ton of s2k owners use that tranny fluid

I found out what it is !!
Its the 3rd gear syncronyser (however you spell that).
its ether worn out or damaged !!!
Thats just great how it happened, I`m quessing the previous owner didnt love himself !!!
Thanks for all the help.
P.S. with the GM tranny fluid, the remaining gears fell extra smoother
