Default Crunch into 2nd gear from 1st

IT only does it from 1st to 2nd, 3rd down to 2nd is fine etc, it gets better when warm,YOU CAN FEEL THE COGS/MESH of the gears from 1st to 2nd change.
could it be gear oil ?

cheers.

Sounds like the syncromesh is knackered.

Although I have heard a rumour about jap's putting very thick gear oil in their boxes, however I do not trust the source of that info.

Castrol syntrax gearbox oil quite often fixes the problem do a search and see what people say , does sound like syncro mesh is on its way out but syntrax may help worked for me and many others .

does sound like the cones on the syncro..there are gear oil treatments we use in work that, with an oil change, work surprisingly well. I can get the name of the stuff monday if you'd like.
