Well, for the first one... if the clutch is low on fluid, it won't engage or disengage easily.. Check that first. Could be lots of other things too, synchros could be worn out... that's expensive to fix. Could be a bent fork on your shifter too... tho I don't think that's as bad a problem with the older Getrag transmissions as it was with the 95-99 Isuzu-designed-but-GM-built(-cheaply) ones..

Surging could be as simple as a cracked vacuum line. Does this ONLY happen in third? Or any other gear at the same throttle position? Any unsteadly idle when stopped?
