this manual transmission?
seems. so
the tip of shift levers love to get worn and not allowing the shift rail forks to hit 3rd gear.
a pure simple mechanical failure and is shifter tip end parts bad, some are even made of plastic.
or
3rd gear synchro- ring is super worn out and the main clutch drags. (seen it and fixed them)
if clutch has master cylinder is the fluid always at top line or drops in time every weak.
Depending on your description of grinding could be power steering pump if whinning noise if tight on steering check steering rods tie rods and also check cvr joints for front wheel drive also depending on the direction of turning and which way is worse check the struts might be binding on
sounds like the syncros in your tranny are toast. they are what let your car go into gear and have little teeth on them. You know they are going bad when they start grinding. Id look in a salvage yard for a new tranny or have yours rebuild. Which can be pricey. Rate my answer man!
What is happening to you is worn out sincronizers in you transmission. They are used to mesh the gears between shifts. They are made of brass and wear out easily on the 2nd gen cars. It grinds normally going into 2nd gear and into 3rd if its really worn. If you want a stronger transmission buy the 93 and up 3rd gen tranny. It is an upgraded transmission with dual sincros. Yours does need rebuilt. Or you can find one on the MR2 board for a good price used. I prchased a 93 trans for $1000. An older one will be about 200. Also it depends if its turbo, lsd or not. Good luck!
ok i think i had the same problem check the wires the one that star on the starter check it all the way to where it ends, on my car i had an electrical problem and it was baisicle doing the same thing...
ummm i would say you need to adjust your trans shift cable, check your fluid level, and the problem i had with my dodge was similar to yours... it was my 3rd-4th actuator spring, it had broke and couldnt hold the pressure to keep it in gear
