hard to shift T5 88 firebird formula 5.0

Hey all I have a t5 manual trans that is hard to shift unless I push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor bypassing the bumper stop. It never wants to downshift from 5th to 4th without hitting the 4th gear then hitting neutral then it will go into 4th, it never wants to go from 4th to 3rd gear I have to downshift to 2nd the go to 3rd. Also sometimes won't go into first gear unless I pump the pedal a few times. The tranny never grinds so im thinking it isn't synchro related. Also extremely hard to shift under heavy acceleration but again never grinds. Any ideas or people who have had the same problem but fixed it?.
