5 speed problem

I'm having a problem shifting into 3rd gear in my truck. First off the
truck is a 01 RC 4x4 V8 manual with the 3.92 axle. The truck has 8500 miles
on it currently and just started to grind loudly when I shift it into third
gear. It doesn't happen everytime but it does happen quite often, it seems
to be based on rpm and speed from what I can tell. When I'm driving like
granny it does not happen but when I really get on it it'll do it more
often. At first I thought it was due to not having the clutch in all the
way. But after doing it several times when I was absolutely positive I had
the clutch pedal fully depressed it still did it. Has anyone had this
happen to them before? It's starting to piss me off because I dont want to
ruin my tranny or clutch. Any insight would be helpful. I'm still covered
under warantee but is this somthing that the dealer would fix or just say
its my fault because "I cant drive a 5 speed"?

thanks,

Chris
