Rarely Shifting into 5th gear

I just bought a 98 chevy cavalier RS with 197k miles on it. I expected some problems with it, most obvious is the ball joints, that i can fix and diagnose on my own. The car has a 2.2L 4 cylinder in it, manual transmission of course.
Problem is this, although the shifting
is..a little rough, which could just mean the clutch needs bled or
changed. I can't hardly get it into 5th gear. It goes as far as the
shifter allows, and just grinds like its almost there but just not far
enough. My first thought was it was the synchronizer, but when i do get
it to go into 5th gear, it has never once popped out of gear on me.
Could it be a linkage? I really know nothing about transmissions other
then how to watch the fluids and how to shift them properly. Any help
would be great.
