Also, it is 4th and only 4th that makes a noise in my car. Up from 3rd and sometimes down from 5th.
So I guess it must be the transmission.

Grind =/= notchy
Grind can only be three things (in no particular order):
- Bad driving
- Clutch not fully disengaging
- Bad syncros
Notchy is simply the feel of a transmission linkage. Some transmissions have a lot separating you from that feeling, while others don't (gated shifters are notorious for having no separation)
