Interesting. I have a very similar Problem, only that it's more with
the lower gears and reverse.
Also after driving a while (especially in hot weather), I experience
increasing difficulties in shifting into the reverse, 1st and 2nd.
It gets that bad that the gear does not sync anymore in rev and 1st,
what ugly noise! It gets better if I then shift into neutral and
sort of "pump" with the clutch pedal a few times before trying again.
I had the transmission oil changed, but it didn't help... :-(
Perhaps it's something with the clutch ?

I also would be thankful for any ideas.

Greetings,
Roland
