If this would have been third, I would say syncro sleeve without any doubt - this is a known honda problem. Your case is most probably syncro sleeve, too. Might be a shifter linkage, though. If this is your tranny, filling it with somewhat heavier oil may help temporarily, but ultimately you have to rebuild it to fix this.

IDK, I did it myself. Sleeve itself costs a few bucks, but the job is to remove the tranny, completely disassemble it, assemble and install....

try changing your tranny oil and that should help out a lot. use either gm syncromesh or genuine honda mtf or if you cant afford either use some high quality 10w30
