hard to shift, its not the tranny oil

I own a 1990 Honda CRX DX 5speed with a shortshifter. it came with the car idk what brand.

anyways, its getting really hard to downshift this sob. i have to double clutch EVERYTIME. sometimes tripple clutch. i thought it might be the oil level so i took it to valvoline and they said befre they got the screw all the way out oil starting coming out. So its not the level.

can it be the clutch?
syncros?
i dont really know alot about cars but i really like driving mine and i need to fix it.
the tranny has about 150 thousand miles on it, aswell as the motor, so if anything is wrong, im not surprised.

pleas help!

perhaps the clutch isnt disengaging when you press the pedal down , did you check your clutch cable?

see if its coming from the bell housing area. sounds like a spring is trying to come out of the clutch disc
