Water pump recommendation

This is a side question - but can changing the motor mount effect the stick shift and how hard it is to shift?

I had my clutch done in Oct 2014 and afterwards my shifter was the smoothest ever. Then in Dec 2014 I did the motor mount and I don't remember the timing exactly but for the last year shifting has been tight and hard. I also had the transmission fluid changed somewhere in that time frame.
