MGW gen2, Blowfish bracket, Mobile 1 fluid. Installed for almost 2 years, just last month or so been getting progressively harder to shift from 4th to 5th, today it was so hard I just started going 4th to 6th with no problem. Car's driven almost every weekend, all other shifts are fine. ~60k mi.

Anybody?

That would be strange out of any of the gears to go bad. Being 5-6. Maybe the gate is a little worn, or synchro. The 07’s are hydraulic right, or still cable?

If its not in the manual shift linkage. Sounds like an internal trans issue, you would need to check the shift rail and fork system, synchronizer system and the gear clutch teeth for restricted travel.

Maybe the shifter assembly or bracket loosened up and shifter alignment with the transmission is off. I would get the car up in the air and check it out.
