2005 Evos w/bad 3rd gear synchro?

Any '05 VIII owners in here have their 3rd gear synchro go out on them? I'm having problems with mine lately and curious to hear from somebody who's been through the process.

Mine was first and second. Never heard of anyone with an 05 having issues with third.

I'm putting down lots of power. Around here the 320whp I put down at Speed Element has been enough to get other local Evos into the mid 11's. I'm also on the stock clutch at 42k miles. I don't drag race the car.
