Before you pull the unit check the 3rd and 4th gear engagement by hand with the side cover off. The slider should feel like it positively clicks into each gear. If 3rd feels different than the other gears you probably are at the root of the problem.Take a look at the 3-4 synchro. Make sure the hub, dog keys and expansion springs are OK and installed properly. Do a quick check on the rollers inside the rear of the input shaft, the front bearing surface of the mainshaft, and the mainshaft endplay and rear bearing. You didn't mention which (18 or 23 spline) trans you have and the 18 spline can be normally pretty noisy and cover up an early bearing problem.
