Force needed to shift out of 2nd gear

Hey Guys.

Been a minute since I have posted on here.

I have been driving an '06 DC5 RSX Type-S tonight. The owner had a run and had missed 2nd gear twice. I took the car and ran the race banging the gears without any issues. It's a stock DC5-S and stock box.

I parked it and we watched a few runs before leaving. While we drove away, the car did not want to come out of 2nd gear. It was hella hard to get it out. Fearing being stuck, we drove home in 2nd gear.

Got home and used both hands with the car turned off and got it to move around freely into every gear with the car turned off. Even drove it and made all the gears.

While rejoicing and driving back from checking it, 2nd gear got stuck again but the excessive force got it out again. We can drive 1st - 3rd and so forth without issues. Only time the problem arises is when trying to shift out from 2nd gear.

What do you think is the problem here?

1: Bent Fork
2: Synchro / Gear issue
3: Other

Any assistance that can be provided is always appreciated from you guys.

Thanks.
