Strange third gear

For some reason my second to third in my Turbo II started to act up.
Here are the symptoms.

Revving 2nd gear past 4k and than trying to shift into third there is sometimes a slight feed back before putting it in third. I really wouldn't consider this grinding as it feels slightly different. It's almost as it's slightly grinding in neutral? It doesn't feel like I'm not putting it all the way just a little grind from taking it out of second.

The tranny is almost brand new with only 20k miles on it.

thanks in advance

You didnt really ask a question, but, if your looking to get rid of that I would start by first changing your trans fluid, and see if that helps. Start simple my friend, if thats not it, look into your shifter bushings.

Sounds like your clutch is dragging or your pilot bearing is on its way out. When was the last time you serviced the clutch and what did you replace?

I replaced all of the bearing when i put the new ACT clutch in. Also the tranny was recently serviced due to the flywheel being a little loose. When it was serviced they checked the tranny fluid and said it was fine.

thanks
