Unless the clutch is dragging or not fully releasing you most likely have
the infamous cracked 3-4 slider hub. Tranny time.

Subject: Possible problem with 3rd gear

Hi,
I have an 89 Westy Syncro with the 4 speeds transmission. It's crunching
going up and going down to 3rd gear.  Do I need a new 3rd gear?
Best regards.
