Shorty: I just figured out, the pic in your sigline is a joke about wheel alignment, isn't it?

I'm at 90 000km and the notchness and humming as been there since ~30 000km and havent gotten worst, I change my fluid often and will cross fingers that it stays in one piece.

so from my point of view just endure the shifting issues. they are there to stay.
I agree the hum in 4th gear is a bit annoying sometimes.
3rd gear notchness when cold is pretty obvious.
