I had something similar, especially when the box had warmed up a bit. It would crunch but if you got the gear change just so would go in fine.

I changed the oil for some nice fresh syntrax and hey presto it has gone away for now. I am under no illusion however that something may let go in the future. Got to be worth trying some fresh oil before you do anything?
