Shifting problem

Started having an issue getting into any gear when my car is cold. This morning it was nearly impossible to get it into reverse. My clutch also feels like it has less travel than it did just a few weeks ago. I had the diff replaced 1 year ago and also had a new clutch put in at that time. Probably have put about 15K miles on it since then. I just ordered some RP fluid but not sure that's gonna help..... Seems strange that it went from shifting absolutely fine to being this difficult. One other note: After the car is warmed up shifting is much improved and the clutch even feels like it has more travel to it. Any thoughts? Hoping it's not the clutch going already! Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.
 
Seeing as I'm having some shifting issues as well, how did you come to this conclusion? Or just replaced on a whim?
