Gear shifter clunky between 5th and 6th

Hi all,

I recently got myself a 2005 NC and when the car is in neutral (Regardless if the clutch is pressed or not) I find it hard and sometimes nearly impossible to move the shifter to the space between the 5th and 6th gear. However, interestingly shifting in the space between 1st and 2nd is fine and if I shift from the space between 1st and 2nd to the space between 5th and 6th its also okay.

Hopefully, my explanation make sense... but does anyone know how fix it or what is the issue here?

How many km has it done?
When was trans oil last changed?
Has it ever been removed e.g. clutch replacement?

Some reading which may help:
