If your car is still under warranty then Ford will fix it. There is a TSB for this problem with the trans. In general the trans is marginal at best, but the 3-4 synchro is a POS and needs to be replaced along with a few other parts, good luck.

Sounds like a synchro indeed. Synchros help get your gears aligned, synced if you will. Those wear out and you'll have a much harder time engaging that gear.
