Same issue on my 2013 with 50k miles.
Didn't really notice it too much over the summer, but definitely a big issue when it was ~20F.
It was almost like uncomfortable how hard I had to pull to get it into 2nd gear. Obviously, I was pushing clutch pedal in all the way, shifting slowly and gently, but it was still odd.

Even when 50-60F, there is noticeable resistance going into 2nd gear when it's cold.

I swapped the fluid out for Redline MT85. I noticed zero difference in performance at any temp.
