The pedal box on the firewall below the dash has plastic bushings that like to wear out and cause the pedal travel to decrease, thus causing the hard shifting.

Look under the dash and push on the clutch pedal, see if you can see the shaft shifting in the mounting plate, if so, you need bushings!

With just 1st and reverse I'd suspect something not allowing the input shaft to stop before anything else. Pilot bearing. I've had a little problem with those lately. I just finished rebuilding my transmission because of it tearing up so many pilot bearings. It's fixed right now. If it was something with the clutch pedal then it would be weird in all gears. Open your windows and see if there is a chirping noise coming from underneath when you push the clutch in.

The rest of the gears don't have to stop in order to engage. The synchro ring and hib should take care of them but both sides are spinning. 1st and reverse do have to stop. Only one side is spinning when the pilot bearing has hold of the input shaft. The sliding sleeve on those two are near impossible to move if the input shaft is spinning on one side of it. The clutch pedal can cause it but I doubt that's it. The clutch doesn't have to go down very much to disengage the clutch disk and there is a lot of room for slop on it.

Not as bad but I am sure it has been seen. There is a metal plate that was added to the firewall on the newer ones to make it stronger
The pedal box has been known to crack also.
