Is it just me or am I the only one that has a scratching third gear? I have the TWM SSP and when I shift into third gear, the gear scratches. I have been making sure that the clutch was engaged before shifting into third but the gear still scratches. Anyone else have this problem?
 
i do.. although it doesn't usually happen when i shift slow. a bad syncro would be my guess, i have also read that shot motor mounts can cause this.
 
I can confirm this, bad motor mounts can cause bad shifting and considering the ms3 is known for its weak motor mounts that would be my first concern.

In other words, if you havent knowingly grinded gears then i would bet its bad motor mounts
