2nd and 3rd gear prob.
 
I am having some problems with 2nd and 3rd gear in my 5.0 It shifts into the gears fine, but while in them it seems to grind a little. It doesent pop out or anything, just sounds like its grinding and you can feel a somthing grinding when holding the shifter.

Any help would be great!

yep synchros... 2nd the 3rd are the most wear prone gears. how many miles on the tranny?

Mine did that!

It makes a little whine in 3rd and you can feel it in the shifter. That was right before it blew. Time for a rebuild.

Mine went because the input shaft retainer had broken and the car ran fine for a while until the shaft locked up on the highway a few weeks later. I found this all out in the aftermath disassembly.
