Adjustment or Something Else?

So just tonight it's been starting to grind going in to 1st when I'm slowing down to a stop or when I'm stopped, and going in to 3rd when I'm shifting under normal driving conditions. In both instances the clutch will be all the way to the floor. I haven't really been beating on it, no launches, a few 2nd to 3rd pulls and 3rd to 4th but nothing crazy since I'm still getting used to the car. The clutch is good, It grabs hard and doesn't slip.

I've been thinking about adjusting the clutch a bit, because it seems to grab really low off the floor, and there's moderate play at the top. The shifter components could probably use some freshening up too. It doesn't feel terrible, but I think the throw could be tightened. From what I can tell the shifter is a cut stock unit.

I'm debating about dropping the cash on the JNZ short throw because it seems it's the only quality option for the 1g. I've also been debating on getting some sort of shift bushing replacement.

In no way am I implying Kevin sold me something that is on the way out. For all I know it could just be me. I'm not sold on any diagnosis yet, as it has only started tonight. Any feedback would be appreciated.
