Mine's a 91 240 FB, and it does exactly the same thing.  It's really shitty.  I kinda thought the third gear syncro was shot, because that's what I went through with my civic (integra LS tranny).  But I know what you mean about it feeling like you're hitting a wall.  You sort of have to hold it against third gear and let it pop in itself.  Or you'll grind.  I would really like to know what causes that.  Have you had any clutch problems, too?
