Weird issue concerning 3rd gear

Ok,, well to start I have had a clunking noise coming from the rear and screeching when I turn left or right occasionally. Sometimes the clunking is louder than other times. Its pretty intermittent but there is always a lil squeaking regardless. I have come to the assumption its the rear end. Axles sliding out making the screeching noise and then putting pressure on the rotors causing the calipers to rattle. Put on the brakes it all goes away.

The real issue is what im wondering about. As like in, does it relate at all. When im driving normally it goes into all gears fine, but driving hard I miss 3rd ALOT and sometimes It even goes into gear but still wont engage and I have to pull it back out and then back in. Like it clears the gate but it acts as if I didn't put it in gear at all. I've been praying its just me driving bad for some reason,, but it seems to be mechanical.

So yesterday I was cruising to a friends and decided to see if there are any weird noises going into 3rd while keeping the clutch in. I know the T-56 is noisy, but coming out of 2nd into 3rd even soft made a slight clunk noise and sorta felt a tad very small bit of movement from the tranny. On top of this, it had a point where it hit the gate and kinda hesitated requiring a bit more force to go in. Not much but enough to notice and feel that its not normal.

Any ideas on what this could be?? Could the rear end issue be related at all? Maybe broken Tranny mount could cause it? =/. There is no grinding whatsoever from the Syncro's. Tranny shifts fine other than that.
