Default downshift problem 94 T56

whenever i downshift, its tough to go into gear, and from what i hear, when you go into the gear slot very slow or even moderately slow and stay in between the gear, you shouldnt be able to grind. well mine does it.mostly in 1st through 4th. even on idle it does it when i pass into the gear slot slowly in every gear. when rolling slowly (1-3mph) i go into 1st or 2nd and i hear the shifter rattle and chop from passing over the gear and feel it. and i hear the "clunk" the DS gives to the rear end whenever i back out then put it into first, or put it into 1st while slowly rolling. when the engine is off, its smooth to go into gear.

im going to replace the clutch soon as i know the idle grinding is from the flywheel and pressure plate. or the disc springs giving out. the previous owner complained of the same thing after he had the centerforce put in. do i need a shim of some sort?

anyone know why its hard to get into gear downshifting?
