SOURCE: 91 mazda protege, grinding lower gears?
More than likely the synchronizers are going out,they allow you to move from gear to gear without damaging transmission.
SOURCE: location of my throttle postion sensor on my 2001 mazda protege
It is located on the top rear of the engine, pictured below..
Check the shift cable that goes between the shifter and the transmission. If it's damaged internally it will not move properly and the condition you stated will be a symptom. Easiest way to check it is to disconnect the transmission end of cable and see if it moves freely. If not, replace it.

Im not too sure but it may be that your transmission mount may be broken. Other than that I wouldnt be able to help you.
Hope this helps.
