JZemp,
In the absence of any other symptoms (right?) the most likely thing is that the shift linkage needs adjustment. Two other things that often cause this problem are a breakdown of the fifth synchromesh assembly or worn out pinion bearings, but there would be additional symptoms in those cases. Probably it's just failing to engage fully due to slack in the linkage. With 10w30 in my car it shifts stiff for a few minutes when it's cold (like parked outside overnight at <20 F). I just wait until it warms up. If someone put heavier oil in your gearbox it will be real stiff when cold and I'd change it to 10w30 or Redline MTL. Cheers
