I'm afraid I'm no gearbox expert but the snick you're describing into 4th sounds like a syncro problem.  Quick shift will show these up more than slow ones.  If it gets worse try double de-clutching and see if that helps, if it does it will almost certainly be syncro related.

If the problem is there in all gears then I would say it is more than likely your clutch. It may not be fubar'd if it's still gripping ok, it may just need adjusted after your day at crail.

 Good luck.
