Well, I have one with 165k, and third is SHOT. I have to do exactly the same, double clutch. It's fine cold, if you shift at a reasonable speed. But, warm, it grinds into third, and third only. I don't doubt the problem with the trans. If it was a clutch problem, it would do it in every gear.

Something about this picture isn't right. I've driven or owned four of
these cars every one of which had well over 150k miles on the
transmission. Not a one of them had shifting problems. I don't see how
anyone could manage to abuse one gear bad enough to wear out the
syncro, especially fourth. Second gear I could see, maybe.
I once tore apart a whole transmission because of similar shifting
problems only to find the syncros in excellent shape. The problem
turned out to be a clutch disc that was binding on the input shaft and
thus not disengaging completely during shifting.
Playing skeptic here, I'll put forward the possibility that your
problems are clutch related as well.
