If it's locked in 3 & 4 and not feeling sloppy, perhaps some deeper investigation is required.
Worn rubber bushings can cause hard shifting. I would try removing the shifter from the center console (3 screws) and peer down into the coupling space.
Has anything fallen apart down there? Is the latch stud protruding at the proper length (22mm + or - .5mm)? You can manipulate that "ring" at the end of the shift control rod as if you were using the shifter (it's what the "carrier" engages at the end of the shift stick).
Can it rock slightly side to side? You can shift that rod around through most of the gears (it's difficult but do-able).
I'm just spitballing here. Trying to imagine options outside of the gearbox itself.
