Default 89 Civic Si hard to shift into 5th gear

Just wondering anyone here had this problem before , not sure what's wrong with the tranny but its hard to shift into the 5th gear. I mean it let me shift thru it but stuck like .5 inch before completely engaged it so please if anyone had this problem before please chime in ... Could it be the bushing ? OR maybe the syncro? And oh my car is stock.

Thanks in advance !

Have you ever changed the transmission fluid? Is it smooth shifting in all other gears?

Problem is fixed now . I found out my transmission fluid is very low (almost empty) when I drained it out and refilled w the new oil which means it has leak somewhere ...
