I had my trans rebuilt a few years back as it made too much noise when driving and was just tired, the place that did it I was told was very good, anyhow when they were done it was nice and quiet but sometimes when you went from 3rd to 4th it made a nasty sound, he told me just shift faster and you wont hear it, which is true. I should have had the stomach to say 'Fix it right' I was charged $1,300 at the time.
Anyhow I want to get it fixed right as it bugs me, what would cause that sound going to 4th gear ? I would not think I would need a complete rebuild. Trans has only about 2000 miles on it at the most.

Probably either the blocker ring, or the dog teeth on input pinion (as you know there really isn't a 4th gear. The slider just locks the input shaft to the output shaft. Voila! Direct gear!) or the slider itself.

Only makes noise during the shift?

If your dragging the clutch, not pushing it down all the way to completely disenage the clucth disc, it is probally grnding the steel slider teeth against the steel teeth on the gears

Are you running synthetic lubricant? That could be the problem. If you're not running ATF try that and see if it helps.

Did you Dial in the bell housing? That could be it as well.

Did you not read my post correctly ?
I said I admit I dont know much about the insides of trannys, so how would I know what 'Groom Gears' means ? you dont appear to know but I am sure one of the people here that know this stuff will have a idea,
I dont know what the first item is, if you reread what I said you will see I said his writing was bad, I cannot recall a reason for the replaced case. You say 'Ya got took if you ask me' i did not ask you ok, I may have been took as you say but I just want to know what he did or did not do to cause my problem. just looking for some info from the people on here who know and not Smart A** comments

Lighten up we were just asking a question as we don't know what it means either.

I dug out the paperwork and it was done 10 years ago, the cost was more then I remembered but that included a new Centerforce Clutch, so my memory was a bit off. This is what I can read from the paperwork, his writing is not very good so I cannot make it all out.

Parts

1 m/c114b $210
1 T.O. Brr gssb $84
1 Input house $95
1 Centerforce Clutch $510 18 Spline
4 Syro Brass $42
Hemi 4 speed case w- something shaft $75
1 Spedo gear $22
1 pilot Ber $17
Flywheel bolts $23
Oil $6

Description of work
Groom Gears $195
R&R 18 Spline $640
Turn Fly $50
labor $885
Parts $1092

So this is what was done, I will be the first to say I dont have allot of Knowledge on this so I reached out here. so from what I have provided maybe gives a better idead of what was done. I still dont think it should of made the sound of grinding gears going to 4th.

I know I should have spoke up then when I had it done, and I am going back to him cause I have heard he is a good guy, I dont have nothing to loose. him saying 'Just shift faster' is lame, any idea what he did not do to cause this ? Thanks Guys

Well I do a few of these on the side and it seems like your builder really steps on the parts more than he needs to
It's hard to decipher some of his charges but a few of the parts are right on target as far as market value is concerned.His labor prices are VERY high even for pro-builder shops out there.
18 spline boxes are expensive to build but yours seems to have been very needy in the labor department.When an 833 trans is built correctly with syncros you don't need to "shift it faster"
You didn't indicate what shop you used but if you live in the Akron Ohio area I would be glad to take a second look at it for you

Ten years is a long time and I don't think you can go back to him now.
