    Sounds like a worn syncro on 4th gear. You could try changing the gearbox oil but that may not have any affect if the syncro is badly worn.

    not sure mate but maybe the thrust bearing might be shot
    what ever it is seems like a rebuild on the way

    If it was my car I would change the oil first and see what effect that has. It that does nothing then it's really up to you whether you get used to slow shifting or fork out the money to get it rebuilt.

    Same as ynot has said , change your gear oil first . pay some attention to the condition of the old oil that drains out - colour , metal shavings ,
    viscosity , etc . some drain plugs have a magnet incorporated into them so look at that too. you can always use a pair of stockings wrapped
    around a coathanger to sive the oil to check .
    The price of excellence is dicipline , the cost of mediocrity is dissapointment .
