Default tranny question

ok last night i posted about changing a tranny mount and i just want to make sure its the right thing to change but what happens it when im in 5th or 6th gear it does it in both but if i get below 55 my tranny starts to rattle alot also going from gear to gear has gotten tighter like i actually have to use some pressure to get it into third as opposed to when i bought it i could put it into third with a simple push so is this the right thing to change or is it something else .... ... thanks
