Not if I shift slowly, but it grinds if I try to shift quickly or at high rpms.

My 3rd gear pretty much fuxored?

Default I was hoping the new tranny fluid would help it, but it still grinds.

Argh...

Default Sounds like it.

Try double clutching. It won't fix the issue, but it should prevent the grinding. You'll eventually have to deal with it, but if you can go easy on the synchros, you'll stretch out whatever life is left in the tranny.
