i had simular problem with mine, changed the box oil to castrol syntrax and it seems to have cured it but as said above it could also be syncro on the way out.

I would go for Redline Heavy Duty shockproof gear oil - it might sort this out - did on my old P1.

Had conversations with Zenperformance and the OIl man...recomendations were use the Castrol if it does not cure then use the RedLine Oil...Redline oil as a last resort but one of the two should cure the issue..

castrol did for me..thoug i was crunching when shifting into 3rd..
