Default EP3 - 4th gear stuck?

When I'm redlining in 3rd then try to shift into 4th it gets stuck and wouldn't go in. It forces me to shift into 5th or neutral. It does the same if I'm at a high speed and try to shift into 2nd or 3rd. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone know a soultion?

ive had the car for about 4 months now and havent driven it rough at all since I only use it to go to school and back, but recently I have found that when I tried to shift at a higher RPM it feels the when u try to switch it into gear the car cannot find it and u pretty much have to shove it in to get it to go without skipping into fifth does it sound like the clutch may be distroyed?

If it were a problem with the clutch, you'd have shifting problems in every gear instead of just one.
