I have a 06 LJ Rubicon with the 6 speed stick. Lately when driving around town when I shift from 2nd to 3rd, the gears grind. Not sure what it is causing it any ideas out there?

The syncro on third is probably worn out. If you shift slowly does it get better? If so it is almost certainly the syncro.

x2... grinding gears in one specific gears most likely means the sycromesh gear. (which allows you to shift smoothly between gears)

Yeah if I go slower then it doesn't grind. What do I do fix it?

Change the oil, wouldn't hurt to try first and cheaper than taking it some where

Changing the oil is a good first step. If that doesn't work you will need to put a new syncro in. While the tranny is apart it would be advisable to replace all the syncros and any other wear parts since the labor to disassemble the tranny is usually much more than the cost of the parts.

Well its under warranty so I took it to Hinkley DCJ and they are going to replace the transmission instead of rebuilding it. So I am down for that.
