Clunky 1st gear and 2nd gear

The other day I was driving around for quite awhile in 100 degree weather. I would say about two hours in traffic and freeway. I noticed the longer I drove the harder it was to engage my first gear almost like I was fighting the trans. I tried blipping the throttle a bit to get it into the gears but wasn't helping. I stopped by my dealership where I bought the car and they said it was just the short shifter that was installed from the person who owned it before me. Told me to take it out right away I'm ruining the syncros. This is what I'm really wondering... Is it my short shifter ? Because it seems unlikely my short shifter only had real problems when my car is very hot. My other theory is my trans temps are too hot and that's why I can't engage into first and second. Let me know what you guys think. Thank you all.
