Change the trans fluid, put some synchro mesh in there. If that doesnt do anything something is worn down in the tranny, synchros, the gear, maybe a shift fork plate. Eitherway its not that hard to rebuild a manual tranny as long as you have the full service guide for the t-56. And you can get any part for the tranny for cheap, synchros, new 3rd gear, and maybe a shift fork wouldnt even be 100 bucks. Its the labor that will screw you, remove the tranny, disassemble, replace, reassemble, and put it back in is a good amount of labor.
