Subject:looking for explanation why shifting into third gear grinds when fluid warms up
From:David Cohen

Hi,
  Can someone explain why the Vanagon doesn't grind into third girl  when
cold, only after the car and fluid warms up?  Is it do to the thinning  of
the gear oil when it warms up?  I don't understand how this affects the
synchromesh after the fluid warms up.

Thanks,
David
