So these are the symptoms:

1. When changing from 3rd to 4th gear, you hear and feel a slight but obvious crunch.
2. If you change slowly, by putting it in neutral for a sec, it goes into 4th with no problem.
3. Same issue going from 5th to 4th, or 6th to 4th.
4. No problems whatsoever going into any other gear.

^^^^Wot 'e said.

Nothing much to worry about, just keep an eye/ear on it in case it gets significantly worse if the car is a keeper.

could be oil, could be clutch dragging, could be synchro, could be driver not pressing clutch down properly, could be many things.

Start with cheapest and easiest first.
