Hi there,

From the sound of things it's either the selector arm that is damaged or the syncromesh on 4th gear,in any event unless you are a compotent mechanic its a garage job as its engine out and split to get to the gearbox so it will be expensive. If you are going to give it stick try keeping your foot on the gearlever when you put it in fourth that should work for a bit while you decide what to do ?

Regards

Bill
