you need new syncros, you can try redline or neo tranny oil, it might reduce the grind.

If you are looking to help missing third gear a short shifter will help some, I just installed an engine torque brace myself and it sure is a lot easier to hit 3rd quickly on a upshift than before. If your synchros are already worn then there is no cure other than a rebuild..
