I just bought a 08 v6 mustang with a problem with the manual transmission. The transmission will occasionally grind or struggle going into gear when i shift too fast, or force it into gear, but other then that it drives perfectly smooth. I think it could just be that it needs a fluid change.

The clutch feels perfectly fine.

If it's primarily the 2-3 shift, that's pretty normal for these cars with the stock shifter.
