what sucks is I have a 2nd gear issue, not 3rd....grinds when shifting at high rpm's

Read the TSB to this point...its basically a TSB to appease a few people...all they have to do is say its normal

DIAGNOSIS
Drive a known-good vehicle under the same conditions
as the customer’s complaint, and compare the shift
quality. If the customer’s vehicle has noticeable shift
quality problems, replace the 3rd gear set.
NOTE: It is not uncommon for there to be some
resistance or notchiness when shifting into third gear.
