a car as old as you may have problems developing with the 3rd gear synchro, it is fairly common. as for the water pump, replace the belt and check to ensure it has proper tension

yeah it seems like my 1st gear is starting to mess up tooi can be at a dead stop and when i shift to 1st to go, it sometimes grinds someno other gear does it beside 3rd

would this mean i need to get a new transmission or some work done?
