08 SE 6 Speed to 5 Speed swap?

I own a SE 08 Tiburon, I just got some transmission work done replaced my clutch and swapped over to a Single mass flywheel and my clutch bearing was shot along with both slave and master cylinders. About a month before my car got all this work done my 6th gear suddenly became very hard to shift into and feels like it gets stuck. I can get it into gear and it doesn't grind but shifting out of sixth is very very hard. Thought getting all this work done would fix it but Im still stuck with this problem. The shop I took it to said they couldn't figure out what was going on. I spent about 3k(bye bye tax return lol) on everything and I'm still having issues. Thinking about picking up a low mileage 5 speed trans but was curious about mounting and if its pretty plug and play for this. Any help would be appreciated or if anyone else has had this issue and can give me some insight.

This is my first manual car( been driving them for years just never owned) so I'm not as mechanically savvy yet, every day is a day to learn though.

Looking for some pros and cons, I do want to preface I live in michigan and this car will not be my only car. Looking for a fun summer/ weekend car preferably RWD or AWD I can build into something unique. Not worried about HP I'm a body guy and really just want to make this car look as best it can with tasteful OEM+ looks and eventually get it to show quality.
