again im just guessing
the selector fork gets worn down so it can get all the way in gear
when you do everything correct people arent sure youve done anything at all (futurama)

You have to take the trans apart and check the components. It could be a worn 4th gear (input shaft), the slider sleeve (synchro sleeve), the shiftfork, or a combination thereof.
