if you have the remote shifter R154 or W58, you should check the 4 bushings for the cage, especially if you are using a short shifter then your oem bushings are more than likely toast. It seems to have a larger effect on the remote style shifter cause there are so many things linking everything together wierd things can happen.
If you have the stock shifter on and there is some left to right play before you feel resistance, you may need new bushings.
If you have the older style shifter, there is one main shifter bushing you can change and you guys are lucky you can access that from on top.

I'm with Ali. If it were a synchro it would want to grind, or at least crunch. Hitting a wall sounds like linkage/shifter mechanism. When you try to downshift to a lower gear at too high a speed, you can get the brick wall effect and the synchro works its tail off trying to bring rotating components up to speed.
Do you think you may be missing 4th and trying to grab 2nd instead?
I kinda doubt it, but I have seen it happen, and if you have an aftermarket shifter on an unfamiliar trans, maybe you are just missing?

My friends Si and another friends RSX Type-S had the exact same issue and it ended up being the synchros EATING them selves up - factory issue with the transmission. (Both less than 20k miles on new vehicles - Honda, psh)
If you can engage at part throttle or a different RPM - exact same symptoms 100%.
I hope it is something else!
