I think the problem will be obvious once you open the trans. You'll see either a broken fork, or the synchro's teeth will be fucked up or the gear's engagement teeth may be sheered off or no longer have a nice cut to them.
The fork is not very hard to replace and neither are the synchros and all the bearings. For the synchros and bearings you just need a press. There is a really nice write up on 8th civic detailing the transmission tear down.
