Have you checked the oil level ? If the oil level is Ok, it is the beginning of a synchromesh failure due to fair wear and tear, I expect. There are better synchro cones from the 2008 cars onwards. before it gets too bad and starts crunching on the way up or down the box I recommend getting it fixed.

What year model is the car ?

It'll be the synchro on its way out then, we are doing loads of them this year, Synchro failure and centre diff failure.
