Probably a bent shifter fork.

Before you do replace that, check and replace your shift linkage bushings.

could be low on fluid, you may have a small leak, the synchro could be going....

This was happening to my brother once. I checked the tranny fluid, and it was really low. I drained, and re-filled it with Honda MTF, and it hasn't happened again.

does it happen when you let go of the gas. if so it may be a bad synchro. if not it may just be something simple like everyone else said. tranny fluid etc.

I agree, I'm willing to bet ya that you are just low on fluid... Drain it, dump a couple quarts of MTF in there and see how it goes... If that's not it, then consider opening up the tranny... Good Luck and let us know how it goes... Latez
