Change clutch fluid? I found that by bleeding only, the clutch fluid comes out easily and clear. Pumping the pedal a few times caused all kinds of black crud to flush out of there. After that flush, felt like I had a new clutch and much better shifting.

There is a TSB out for the problem you are having. The third gear (and fourth I believe) syncros need to be replaced. I know this thread is old, but in case this info helps...

Changing trans fluid and and differential fluid does wonder!
Do it quick if you haven't done it.
I use GM Syncromesh for trans fluid and LE607 for diff fluid. They are awesome
