tranny ?
ok heres the deal. i just bought this eg coupe with a ls swap in it and im driving it home and it grinds third gear a little. so b4 i leave the guys house i call him and ask him about it and he gives me this line that it a shift linkage stabalizer bushing ( or somethign like that) but he does tell me it aint the tranny going bad. so i call all the parts stores and they dont even know what it is. and arent bushings supposted to create a smooth shift not cause a grind when they are bad. even though it doesnt not to it all the time and there is no specific rpm's or anything it does it at because it happends a random times. if someone know what im talkin about then let me know. and if i got jipped by this dude for a bullshit tranny let me know cuz im gonna be one pist off dude, and someone will hear about it. thanx

the link above has the bushings he was talking about. im not saying this is the best place to buy them just that they are what the guy was talking about.

3rd gear grind on an ls tranny. Thats a new one. It's a common problem. More than likely is a synchro going bad. Try changing your fluid over to the GM synchromesh and see if that helps out.
