Shifting from 1st to 2nd when car is cold!!

Shifting from 1st to 2nd when car is cold!!
I'm finding that on a cold morning my STI RA is very difficult to shift from first to 2nd. Sometimes its a real battle to get it into 2nd and i'm worried that I may damage the gearbox by sort of forcing it in a little.
The car is fine after a few minutes of driving its just the first few inital shifts. Is this normal for an RA on cold days or is it something I should be concerned about?
Would shifting between gears a few times before the car is driven help??

Cheers mate. Do you reckon this could solve my problems? One of my mates said that this was common on the close ratio boxes but I wasn't sure if he was right.
All other gears are fine and shifting from 1st to 2nd is fine after 5 minutes or so!
Also, am I likely to be doing any damage by having to push it into 2nd quite hard?
