Do you have to put the pedal to the floor for it to let you shift?
more info would be nice

Assuming your shift cables are held in place securely and properly adjusted, the next likely thing would be a worn syncro.

check your gear fluid and your slave cylinder along with anything with the clutch and shifter bushings

yes I put the pedal all the way to the floor...this isnt my first 5 spd. I was also wondering if it was the cables because it started to do this in my Supercharged Cobalt before the cable broke ( the original owner be up the caobalt bad..) O and this might sound really bad but can anyone tell me where to check the fluid at? and also how do I check the slave cyilinder? If it was the syncros wouldnt it pop out of gear?

Loose linkage bushings, worn syncros, worn shift fork, clutch adjusted wrong, bad master cylinder or slave cylinder, air in clutch line.

Just to be on the safe side buy some gear lube, and change the fluid, their are to plugs for your tranny. One is on the front side of the tranny(to fill) and the other is on the passenger side(to drain). Drain it out then fill it up with the new till it starts to over flow out the fill hole. There is no dipstick for the 5speed.
