Not a manual noob, driven nothing but manuals and double de clutch on the downshift in all the cars I've owned. Car is stock as a rock.
Motul Gear 300 won't fix it, I'm running that (less than a year old) and still get crunching when shifting too fast when it's cold. By shifting too fast, I mean faster than it wants, not slamming gears.

Doesn't happen every shift, but I'd say about 30% of the 1-2 shifts until things are up to temp have some sort of crunch. It's not a full out grind, but still not great.

I've been meaning to get it checked before my warranty is up, really need to get on that now that I'm over 90k km's!
