But after a few minutes of driving the 2nd gear is smooth to shift and doesnt make that sound. Idk whats the problem but im guessing i should change the transmission and differential fluid? I already complain this to the dealer but the mechanic said it was normal. Anybody knows how to fix this problem?

This car is known for being hard to shift first/second gear when cold. Completely normal. I can't even shift into second if my RPMs are below 4k when cold.
As for the metal/clunky noise you're hearing: If it sounds like a heavy "thunk" coming from the rear when you shift into first, then that's normal as well. If it's more of a metal grindy noise, that could be a transmission problem.
Edit: Just re-read your post and saw that you hear when shifting into second, which I can't comment on.
What's your mileage? How do you use your car? Hard driving/track or daily drive?
