Default car wont stay in 1st 3rd or 5th. wtf

h22a with m2b4. just started out of the blue. 1st, 3rd and 5th all kick out of gear when driving and its hard to put into all those gears including reverse. 2nd and 4th are fine. the tranny always shifted smooth as ever. ive been driving this setup for almost a year now and everything seemed fine till today. what could this be?

hmm. it still shifts into gear. just alot harder. almost feels like something is jammed up and wont let it go all the way and then pops back out of gear.

almost say cables for sure. just go over them and check all the clips/ mounting points on them.
