Thought i had synchro problem but i was wrong The T56 in my 2000 TA was becoming hard to get into 3rd and sometimes 4th gear, so i pulled it out replaced all the synchros, put it back in and now it is pretty much the same. It will not hardly go into 3rd (unless u jam it in) and it will go into 4th but sometimes it gets stuck in 4th and wont hardly come out. Anybody have any suggestions?

How did the actual fork & pads look? If its the stock fork, they are notorious for breaking/cracking and that will cause an issue like that. Also does your trans still have the plastic shift fork pads? Any of those internal parts being broke can cause an issue like that (I had the same issue before i put my stage 2+ trans into my car)

Pics of the 3-4 parts?
How did the inner splines between the hub and slider look? Keys and springs were replaced? Did you set the springs both starting from the same key and both going clockwise (or counter)?
If it's apart again, the iron 3-4 replacement fork is a good item to include.
All new synchros and all new soft parts replacement would put you at a minimum of $700+ in parts alone; I'm guessing your total didn't have that much in cost of parts. Your builder didn't do his job on 3-4.

All the synchros? Or all the blocker rings? Big difference.

I am trying to figure out if it could possibly be a hydraulic or clutch problem now. I didnt even consider that before because the only problem is 3-4
