Pretty sure I've read this sort of thing goes hand in hand with the 5th gear crunch cos they're opposite eachother. You can help it with some fluid thing but it wont cure it 100% I don't think.
Take what I've said with a pinch of salt though, I thought you could fit master cylinders upside down yesterday.

Nah, you're on the money Gorgon.
I'd start by checking the shifter cables are still in the relevant clips on top of the gearbox. Also, as Gorgon said, when was the last time your transmission fluid was changed?

Yeah. DOT4 for the clutch, an uprated MTF for the gearbox itself. Amsoil or Torco MTF should ease the symptoms. If your box is a standard one with no LSD, a replacement can be had pretty cheap. You can use 4th gen lude boxes too. I have a 2.3non VTEC box in my lude.
