91 n/a grind

I can go from 2nd ti 3rd withiut a grind but if I try to downshift from 4th or 5th to 3rd it will grind.
But I can come from 4th to 2nd not letting off clutch and go to 3rd and theres no grind...
What could this be?

similler problem with mine I just heal toe down shift to match my trans and engine speed. I also have to double clutch 1st to 2nd above 4k rpm. saving for a junk yard trans to rebuild so I don't have any down time on Trix as she is my DD.

could try out some of the nicer brands of trans fluids
but it is probably a dead trans. Just find another one, the 6 port trans is everywhere and cost honestly close to the same as redline trans fluid LOL.
