Yes it can be and probably is your syncros.. Could be adjustment of shifter or shifting technique as well.

Probably synchros. I had to replace my 3rd gear one for exactly the same reason. They were worn when I pulled them out.

It's alot of time/work/$ to do that, so first try changing the trans fluid.
