Bent shift forks?

1st, 2nd, and neutral are all good, but when I go to click it into 3rd it doesn't click into gear so it stays in 2nd. Now, if I press down a little bit on the shifter (not enough to downshift) you can hear a click (reset?) and THEN I can shift into 3rd. Same process for 4th and 5th gear.
I took apart the right side of the engine case and inspected all the shifting mechanisms, and it all looked good! Am I missing something here or is it a bent shift fork? Thanks!!
