You may want to remove the boot and console plate and adjust the shifter. My car was getting hard to shift in 3rd and 4th, and I found the shifter to be a good ways out of adjustment.

This is a fairly common problem actually.No amount of adjusting is going to fix a bent shift fork...My opinion anyway

Anything noted about transmission downshifting problems? Most of the time when I approach turn 1 at Watkins I am slowing from about 130 in 4th to the high 60s under hard braking. With the clutch in I get gear clash or blocked from downshifting as I am trying to get the tranny into third. After a couple of tries it will go in. The next spot I try to downshift I am slowing from about 110 to 60 going into turn 6 under hard braking and the tranny will go into third everytime.
