Stuck in Neutral

I bought a 1996 Integra SE Stock a week ago. Shifting was very smooth. Fast forward 1 week later on, shift is getting hard. Today I was driving around and I was going about 20 mph in 3rd gear and needed a downshift. Shift into 2nd but it doesn't let me. Shift back into 3rd and it doesn't let me. All the cars behind me was honking because I counldn't get my car into gear. I popped it into 3rd with some force and got a small grind. I had the clutch depressed down all the way and shifting still got some grinds which leads me to think that there is probably a problem with the clutch.

After messing around I found out that the only way to shift now is to just do it very fast so it doesn't grind.
How to fix?

you must be low on fluid. check that first.

EDIT: had to use someone's car as an example. ( k24ash i believe ) just incase you dont know where to look.

could be fluid, could be syncros, could be bent shift linkages....

EDIT: wait, 3rd gens use cables don't they.
