3rd gear doin' the grind

[jpmahala@juno.com (John P Mahala)]

For a while, my '91 coupe quattro has had this nasty habit of grinding
it's way into 3rd gear if I take 2nd gear above approx. 5000 rpms before
shifting.  Chances are that this is not the norm and I am curious as to
the advice you guys might have on this problem.  Should I start looking
for a new clutch?  A new tranny perhaps?(Please, dear God, no)  Would
adjusting the clutch help?  If so, how does one go about doing it?

Right now I am planning on having the tranny oil changed and hopefully
that will solve the problem.  I am not going to hold my breath though.

Thanks,
