Thanks for the suggestion. I really don't think it's a failed syncro issue as the trans shifts just fine between 2nd to 3rd gear all the rest of the time. I do have a quality, synthetic gear lube in the trans. I tried to reproduce the issue yesterday with some "spirited driving". No luck, like most intermittent issues, it doesn't manifest itself when you want it to. Oh well, more spirited driving another day.
