I recently started having trouble shifting from 3rd to 4th gear and back from 4th to 3rd. 1st to 2nd, 3rd to 5th is no problem, it just feels like its sticking in 4th. This is a 1989 Mustang GT 5.0 Litre engine.

Could be a problem with the synchros in the trans. Since it shifts fine in all other gears, I doubt it is a problem with the shifter or shifter bushings. Try servicing the trans and filling it with the proper fluid(dextron 2 ATF), if that doesnt help, it may need to be taken apart to visually inspect it.
