What fluid are you running in it.. Have you checked the level since the noise started. When did this start happening and did you tow heavy or miss a shift lately..

Fourth gear is direct drive IIRC.
Which means it's not transferring power through the countershaft, which in turns means the bearings have gone south.
If you had said 3rd and 5th, I could positively say, input gear/bearing and countershaft gears/bearings.

As for a location and a full level some owners add another quart by filling thru the top shift cover. That is supposed to soften some of the roll over noise some find ofending after installing a single mass clutch and fylwheel set.

by the way with that noise is there any damage being done to the transmission or is it just noise?
