Default Where is my third gear?

Today i drived my Z when suddenly i put 3 gear and i felt that my rear of the car has been jumping with noise for a moment.I stopped the car.I run again.1, gear,2 gear 3....and it is like i gave a neutral position.i have all gears without third.i can give on third position without clutch.Do you think that my gearbox is finished?i have Greddy TT 415 hp.I know that OEM gearbox is strong,but maybe it is not true?Or maybe something little has jumped out?Help!

The Z's tranny is far from ****. It's very strong. It's the synchros that are weak.

Yes. I own a 2004 and I'm on tranny #5. Get tranny revision number 009 (or higher if available).
