shifter question

hello everyone! how is it going? i have a question, when i got my 14' wrx new the shifting was buttery smooth. Now about a year later it feels very notchy most of the time (45% of the time it isn't) from gears 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 like I'm pushing against something. would changing my shifter bushings help fix this ?thanks for the input guys!

Yes. Shifter bushings help take up the slop... How many miles do you have? May be time for a tranny flush. Fresh fluid helps too
