Probably a combination of tired syncro and small cracks in the 3/4
slider hub...The hub puts the 2 gears and forks     slightly out of
position and can also wear the housing out and some intermittent strange
shifting...
 Redline will not help broken pieces unfortunately, but it will cure
stiff shifting at times esp. cold...
 $995 for a rebuild with a 3 yr warranty plus shipping (about $80) and a
$400 core charge till your old trans is returned..
 Good Luck & holler if I can help
