I have a 98 civic sounds similar it shifts fine when cold but gets harder to put in gear as it gets warmer, replaced MTF with penzoil synchromesh bo difference bled and replaced all brake fluid in clutch master (the old stuff was dark dark almost greenish) still very hard to put in 1st grinds in reverse and occasionally between gears only when the car is hot. Any ideas

Probably just a worn clutch. Stiff gear selection when hot was the reason I changed the clutch on my Type R, it never showed any signs of slipping.

On the plus side a clutch change it's a fairly easy job on the older Civics, certainly compared to the EP3 which required the whole subframe to be dropped.

Beat me to it tired clutches lay-up causing drag
