    Does sound like gearbox BUT before leeping in get your clutch and cable checked
    as I've known several "changing problems" fixed by new cables / damaged clutches.

    If all OK then get a recon g/box but shop around on price. Needs to be fully fitted
    with 12 months warranty.

    Sounds like a warn syncro on gear three, its a common fault on this gear. Try double declutch, if it goes in this way then shows its the syncro!
