Maby the clutch isn't fully dissengaging, check the cable. If the syncs are going bad then it might be the tranny.

If it does it everytime you shift from 3rd-4th and your making sure the clutch pedal is fully pressed (yea that sounds obvious, but i'm seen stranger things), its probably your trans.

Not done, just needs a rebuild, and from what i see in person at my local shop, don't let it go too long, problems only get worse.

Rebuild kit from hanlon motorsports is like $200, and you'll need a steel bearing retainer. Fix it sooner, not later.
