To test this, try starting in second a few times in situations where 1st normally wouldn't work. Don't worry about hurting anything, you just need to ride the clutch a little to get going in second, I do it in snowy weather a lot.

Let us/me know if from a stop, you can put it into second easily or if you have the same trouble as first gear.

Also, mandatory question- have you changed your trans fluid yet? You definitely should if we're troubleshooting shifting issues.

No floor mat issues. It does this even with the floormats out at autox. It shifts into second or any other gear much easier from a stop, so I don't think its a clutch adjustment issue. I can also downshift into 1st easily when moving. I have read about the fluid change and plan to try that for general smoothness, but it doesn't seem like fluid would physically prevent me from getting it in gear.
