    85 318i stuck in 4th gear

    Heya, while shifting out of fourth into fifth, if I push right and up as you normally would the lever hangs up at the bottom of fourth gear, there is no upward movement, it just hangs on something. If I instead push straight up out of fourth then right and up into fifth it doesn't stick. Something is binding or hanging up right at the bottom of fourth. Im pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with the clutch, it's very obviously being pushed right into some kind of notch or lip. Overall the shiftier is pretty sloppy too.

    Any ideas? Thanks -Kevin

    85 318i 5 speed, no mods or swaps, only 4th gear, clutch probably 50-100k mi old.
