1995 900S 5-speed: Bad Shift Days

I have a 1995 900S with the 5 speed, 230k miles, clutch replaced a while back but not new, cable replaced a year ago. The car sometimes is hard to downshift into 1st or 2nd (or even shift into 1st or 2nd) as if it is 'binding'. This seems to happen after an hour of driving - or more pronounced in a city driving environment. Once it starts 'binding' you pretty much have to try a couple times, no foul sounds, etc.
It's not like I can't get it into any gear, just 1st or 2nd especially when downshifting and I've been driving for a while. When it is cold it seems to work a lot better.
Could it be linkage, throwout bearing, clutch, synchros, or any other item? I'm not planning to keep the car much longer, 6-7 months tops, it's old enough to go to college by itself next year (17, original owner) but would like to get thru the winter.
Any ideas?
Thanks
