Default Problems with 6th gear

I have an 04z and just recently I have had problems shifting into 6th. It feels like something is kicking it out. What could be the problem? It doesn't happen if I dump the clutch slowly and ease into 6th. It just started doing it and it has gotten progressively worse... Any thoughts?? And its not driver error!! Haha. Any ideas would be appreciated

Dealership can tell you over the phone. 3 years from original in service date, or 36k, which ever comes first.
