IB5 Poor gear change

I have a focus MK3 i.6L Ti VCT with a IB5 gearbox (single mass flywheel) car milage 84K. The gear change is clunky, it does not grind but it is like a to stage process of moving the gearstick to the required gear holding it there for a second and then pushing it in, third gear is more clunky. If I get the speed and revs right the gears just go in without any issue. I have changed the oil in the box, the old stuff was black and probably the original. The correct Castrol oil was added. Does this sound like a worn clutch (pulls well and not slipping at the moment) or worn synchro's.

    Did it do any of this before you changed the oil?
