Transmission starting to get sticky

I have had a 2006 9-3 aero - 6 speed manual transmission for 2 years now, currently has 75k on the odometer. When I was shopping around I test drove a few cars: one in particular with only 35k miles on it had a very 'tight' transmission - ie, it was difficult to put in 1st gear in particular, and shifts had to be a little too forceful. The one I bought was silky smooth... Now 2 years later it is starting to get sticky, most noticably when starting out cold (Im in the northeast, so its cold out, but I always park in a garage which is around 50 degrees, so not too cold) I dont beat on the car, and I drive pretty smooth. The question is: is there any maintenance I can do to improve the situation, and is there anything that could be done to prevent this from happening in the first place?
