Sounds like either A) the clutch isn't releasing all of the way or B) the synchronizer rings are shot. Prolly, B.

you might as well throw a new clutch in there with a TOB and as for the tranny it will need a rebuild kit with blocker rings and possibly a 3rd gear, upon disassembly the shyncronizer teeth on the 3rd gear hub should be inspected
