Default 2nd gear

Does anyone else have a troublesome gear in their cars? For me it's second gear, it just feels a lot harder to get a smooth shift out of it. Maybe I just need to get used to the car more? About 2 weeks ago I had it inspected while getting an oil change and the whole car is in perfect condition.

Look at my thread. I've had one issue with it so far. Somedays it goes in easy, some days when downshifting/upshifting, it's kind of hard.

"Finicky transmission" is a regular subject for 8 years. Lots of threads here addressing the transmission.

my 2nd gear seems to be the hardest to shift into out of all my gears too. Who knows.

my 2006 Z is hard to shift into second gear as well... though.. once it worm up ; it seems to get smoother.
however; i noticed that before shifting into second gear (if cold) it will be easier if i left the shifter in natural then shift it into the second gear?!

just my own observations
