When i was drivin earlier today, i was 'gettin on it' through most of second gear, when i tried shifing into the 3rd slot it started to grind and vibrate the shtt out of my hand, i just slipped it into fourth and it went fine.

Later i was at about 60mph and held the clutch in to coast down to a stop, tried putting it into 3rd (around 700rpm's because it was idling from holding clutch in for a few seconds)to downshift(now at about 45mph) and it did the same grind as described above.

What is wrong, i can 'quick shift' into second jsut fine??

I can put it into 3rd slowly at around 2500 rpms from 2nd with no problem, was the clutch not fully disengaged, i'm sorta scared to try it again!!

Please Help,
Thanks ahead of time

Well either you let the clutch go to early or the sincro's(sp?) are going south. Let's hope you let the clutch go to early.
