Issue with 6th gear
Recently got the car It's a 2003 w/ 51k miles all stock. When I go through all the gears, 5th and 6th are very hard to engage. Doesn't matter if the car is moving or not also doesn't make any difference if car on or off. It feels like 5th and 6th gear gates are locked. It does go into 5th and 6th but with a lot tries. I removed shifter and there was hardly any grease and it looked like the prevouis owner had tried to remove shifter but didnt grease anything. I greased up everything and replaced the plastic pieces and made sure I put everything back in correctly.
Now it goes into 5th gear much easier but 6th still hard to engage. All other gears and reverse work perfect. Also the motor and tranny mounts are good.
Anyone had any similar issues like this? What could be the cause?

Maybe, the shift lever was put back in a reversed position.

-Park on level ground, engine off, ebrake off
-row the shifter back and forth from 5th to 6th, about 100 times
see if anything changes. Cold rowing has completely cured this in some cases.

Where the heck do you come up with this stuff? You are a font of esoteric knowledge. You need to write a book.
