3rd Gear Noise???

So I was driving today and i just decided to have a little fun and push the car a lil bit, so when I was in 3rd gear shifting to 4th it made a loud noise, kinda like when you shift but dont have the clutch in all the way. I did it again just to make sure i had the clutch all the way in, but it only happens when i shift 3rd gear at over 5000 rpm.

Switch your tranny fluid to mobile one.

Check the clutch petal bracket.
