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?
Yep, as others have pointed out, it's most likely the nature of the beast.

As your mechanic says "it's normal".

Some folks have had some luck by changing the transmission fluid.

I suggest you just let the transmission warm up a bit before you start driving ....... or just be patient with the 1-2 gear shift.
