lazy 3rd gear synchro
 
After replacing my clutch and installing a Porsche short shift kit, my new problem uncovered is a weak 3rd gear synchro. Someone suggested a heavy duty gear oil might help until I can afford a gearbox rebuild. I am looking at Lucas 85w-140 gear lube.
Thoughts?
Suggestions?

Haven't tried Lucas, but Swepco 210 and Belray gearsaver have been working great under "extreme conditions" where 90w oil failed.

Moss green kicks a$$!

The short shift now shifts the trans quicker than before. The old 3rd doesn't like it. 80/90 GL-5.
