This is common problem .... large rpm drop to 2nd takes it's toll on this syncro.
For cold climates redline MTL 70W80 gear oil is thinner at all temps than 10W40 (and most 10W30) conventional motor oil, contrary to the post below, and will shift better in the cold weather. For hard driven turbos in hot climates (Florida, Texas, etc) this would be a bit too thin when hot.
Technique is important. First cold 1-2 shift should be at low rpm, mabe 2500 rpm, with a perfect pause (mabe 1/2 sec) during the shift. Comes with practice, make sure lane is clear before taking off.
Also be sure clutch sys is ok, should grab about 1/2 way up. No worn clutch pedals with sloppy pivots, or air in fluid.
