Hi I have a 08 fiesta zetec mk6

The problem I have is the gear box when the car is running it is really hard to get it into gear 4 and 5 are just as usual to put into gear, once it is in gear it is just as normal it doesn't just jump out, when the car isn't running it is going into gear fine, I had my clutch done in my car approx 2 months ago don't know if this can change anything but can anyone help me thanks
