Unhappy Sticky 3rd gear at highish revs

I've been getting a wierd one recently that's appeared again today. When driving at a decent (but not mad) pace go to change from 3rd to 4th at say 6k rpm the gear is stuck but with a tug comes out - no graunching etc, just mega sticky. It happened a few times today. At lower revs all is fine. I'm worried that my synchro may be on its way out. 3rd has been getting a bit notchey recently too.

BTW, I only had the 60k service a week ago (my02). I flagged a problem a while ago but dealer couldn't reproduce the problem, now it's out of warranty. Am I likely to be able to get this sorted by IM or is it going to be mega bucks???? Most of my miles are motorway and I don't drive like a loon so the box hasn't really had a hard time.

Any ideas?



Mike
