it pulls out of 1st and 2nd and sometimes 3rd really hard in the morning. it feels like something hit the car when it shifts. this only happens for about 4 minutes then the shifting is normal. the clutch is stock and has a C's short shifter. it sometimes grinds on 2nd (very rare). Sometimes its really hard to shift into 1st or 2nd, i mean really hard. i have to use alot of strength to pop it into 1st or 2nd. any ideas?

1-2 synchronizer ring is worn. That comes from driving styles. On the top of the ring is pointed teeth. Those are the clutching teeth that hold the gear. That is the grinding you hear the clutching teeth out of sync.

The bottom of the ring is where the speed change occurs to allow shifting while on the move. Low or poor lubrication will also wear down those bottom grooves, not just driving style.

This answer is just a guess, I can't see inside your trans from hear. A hard shift in one gear is different than a hard shift in all gears.
