Is it my clutch.... Or my syncro's

The other day when I was messing around I go to drop the truck in 4th at 3200rpm-ish. Not a power shift, I hit the clutch to the floor and go to shift. Just really freaking fast, and it wouldn't go in!!! I thought I might of just been a dumbass. Stuff like that happens, but in 4th?

So today I go to grab 3rd in the same fashing, Same deal!. then I go to grab forth, same thing!.

Now I this time took the time and held the shifter till it got into gear, and it was extreamly difficult.

If I shift at normal RPM's, I can move the shifter around withmy finger tips. Infact, it feels like it always has.

Curious, I know my clutch has some vibrations and the throw out barring is going, and the stock clutch 100% anymore after I installed the Edge stuff. Could it be the clutch isn't disenguaging all t he way at redline rpm's? ? or syncro's?

If it's the Syncro's, how would I go about getting the dealership to do the work under warrenty? You think they would rule in abuse? Also, what about just plain changing the orignal trans fluid? That is something I havn't done. and plan to anyways this week sometime when I do my oil change.
