T56 high shift effort

When flooring it, and shifting to 3rd, it's like I hit a wall and it won't go into gear. I thought it might be me, so I practiced not moving, and it goes in fine. But at high RPM's, it's like the gate disappears. Can you think of anything that mehgt be causing this?

I have a Pro 5.0 shifter, and all of the other gears feel really notchy, but it doesn't just slide into gear, it kinda pops in and will sometimes give a little grind when shifting to 2nd.

Sounds like the tranny's just getting worn out. My T5 is like that, but ALOT worse.

usually the syncro rings cause the grinding and hard shifting.
