You've got a worn 3rd-4th gear shift fork.

Sunbeam Specialties has been out of replacements (actually an updated Arrow
Range part) for several years, and I haven't heard of anyone else who has
them.

Maybe Grimes, in England?

I'm told that a good machine shop should also be able to build up the worn
area and re-machine it.

 This occurs when I am coasting in 3rd on flat ground and downhill.
