Sounds like fucked up linkage to me. A friend of mine had a 91 DX Sedan that wouldn't go into second unless you caught it just right and pushed the shifter over to the right some. Easiest thing to do would be to swap out the linkage and try again.

The Shifter had an incredible amount of play in it from the start and it only got worse. It got to the point where I could move it in a wide circular motion in gear and the throw seemed to be damn near twenty inches. The car NEVER went into reverse, attempts to get into R would put the car in first!? The shift linkage appeared to be the right length but definitely felt like it was off a different car (although its the right one, something is just horribly wrong). Umm, I got it to drive around in first, shifting into second went smoothly, lifting off the clutch or throttle killed it in first, no adverse effect in higher gears, but the car needed to be kept at the redline and the clutch slipping just to keep the damn thing alive, the motor felt incredibly and the oil light was flickering...
This is just what I threw down off the top of my head. Light FW, stg3 xtd clutch kit, L3 tranny on a D15B6 I believe. Night!

I had something similar in my mazda pretty gay (protege) both in problems and in set up. the 96 uses the arm style shifter and I had bushings that were bascily wore down to nothing. check some of those Bushings.
