Default Quick Newb Question

Im not good with anything having to do with the tranny...so...

When it is cold outside my car grinds alot when im switching, usually from 2 to 3 and when im downshifting, and also i have trouble getting into reverse when i start the car up. What would this problem be and how could i fix it. I thought it might be the synchros but i really have no clue.(Stock Shifter)

Also, when i get higher up in my rpm's i have alot of trouble switching gears, is this normal on a stock shifter or do i need a better clutch?

Thanks for the help guys!
