Question shifting issue

Okay to start off..I did some searching but didnt find my problem anywhere..also not sure if this is in the right area but this is my best idea next to discussion.

The problem: hard shift into 4th..when starting first, second, and third are all smooth but problem every other day of driving when I shift down to 4th is doesnt want to drop in..it feels like it gets hung up on something but I'm not sure..The only way I can get it into 4th is by going to Nutral and basically slamming it to 4th.

Any ideas of what the problem is..and what I may be able to do

Ps. the clutch is smooth all the way down and back up everytime

same here for 2nd gear. I'm just extra cautious of the particular gear of issue lol's. Is your clutch and everything stock?
