Transmission just doesn't feel right (since day 1 bought with 83 miles)

What's up guys. Well as the title states I just haven't been happy with the trans since day 1. MT trans. Bought the car in 11/13, 13 model year.
First and second gear are crunchy, jar of marbles Forsure! Just cruisin threw the city granny shiftin 1st-2nd-3rd up it clunks and sometimes grind/crunch sounds. First gear from a stop will argue a little when trying to put it in gear. Not just an easy push into gear. The trans def feels better when it's nice and hot after a drive on the freeway.

I've installed a whiteline positive shift bushing and Perrin rear shift bushing. First and foremost do you think a dealership will bitch about these?
Secondly I flushed the trans at 1500miles and then again yesterday at 4050miles with motul. Both time the old oil had a lot of shimmer in it. If I swirled the oil with my finger it looked like a twister.

One of the bushings has also either enabled me to hear a rattle in the trans or has caused a rattle. Not a whine or anything like that. I know gear whine.
(Drive a sprint car then let's talk about gear whine haha)

Please gimme your .2cents dudes.

Torn about taking her into a dealer. I do a lot of work for car dealers and I hate most of then. It amazes me they stay open haha
