You didn't say if it's every gear that you're now having a problem with. Are you saying that even while driving the gears are difficult to engage? That could be about the stick shift being out of alignment, possibly a loose, broken or worn component in the shift console.
The shifting into another gear before first is common. My current 89 box which had around 60K miles on it when I installed it is in really good shape, but sometimes, especially when hot, I have to do that 3rd to first routine. And that's with adequate oil. I don't know exactly why, but I'll guess that it's a sign of wear on the syncro-gear teeth, specifically a rounding of the gear edges which ordinarily slide and lock in place. Rounded gear edges must cause it to hang up instead of slide. There's 5 seperate syncro gears for each gear, so it's possible for one gear to show more signs of wear over the others. Something about first taking a beating before the others.
