Its usually the diff bearing that fails on the 1.4s, and that makes the noise in any gear. I cant think of any bearing that only moves in 1st/2nd/3rd and not 4th/5th. 
When you drained the gearbox (unless you just pulled the shaft out and let it dribble on the floor?) were there many filings on the drain plug?
