Difficult to shift into 3rd and 4th

Hello!
I have a 03 Si that all of a sudden has a hard time shifting into 3rd and 4th gear. Above 2500, it will either not go in period or grind. Below 2500 however, it'll be butter (so I drive it now by short shifting all the time). All the other gears feel fine and most of the time I can shift into them normally, though while shifting out of first at a higher rpm will feel a little bit of resistance.

We have no clue what it could be since trying to google it will not really get us anywhere because we haven't found the exact issue being reported. To be fair, the clutch will probably need to be replaced relatively soon but it's still ok and it doesn't seem like it would make sense for it to be the problem.

Thanks!

Check the cables and the shifter ball, might just be time for a replacement.

Trans fluid level and quality check would be a good idea too.
