Default Crunchy 4th gear, synchro?

Hi guys,

I've got a 2000 bug eye wrx, 5 speed, and I've got a feeling that the synchro's gone for 4th. When changing down from 3rd to 4th under a bit of load there's a crunch. When double clutching, there isn't a crunch, and when going really easy on it (little to no revs) it seems to change fine.

My question is, how serious is this? What are my options? And how much of a hole is this going to burn out of my ass pocket?

Seems to be a common problem, as I've found a few posts on here about it, but I've just forked out about $1600 on it in the last month with 100k service, plus some other repairs.

Thanks in advance.
