Did you check the shift linkage adjustment?

Is it perhaps not fully in 3rd because the shifter linkage has gotten as far as it will travel and the linkage is holding it out a bit or putting pressure on the slider?

The manuals with how to adjust it can be downloaded here

On the last link under tech it would bring you here
http://www.fieronews.net/fu...wnloads.php?cat_id=1


And then you will see the Haynes manual - that is one of several you could use

http://www.fieronews.net/fu...Downloads/haynes.pdf

So that is the download of the Haynes manual - it covers more than one year.

and then under TRANSMISSION (Chapter 7) -

MANUAL TRANSMISSION ( Part A of Chapter 7)

In subsection 5 (7A-5) on Page 151 of 259 it details the shifter cable adjustment
