What it seems like is synchros that are not as smoothly meshed as they could be. Anyone else having this issue?

Im having this issue when going into second gear. I don't down shift 2nd much only when needed, @ 15 mph or 1500 rpm 3rd gear is fine unless you need to take off fast. Going from 1st to 2nd is a bit hard and I'm not abusing the car either. Ive been driving for 14 years and learned on a manual and have only owned MT, and never had gears shift like that unless wore out or broke. I dont down shift in to 1st unless that rare occasion, I always come to stop then go into 1st, so I dont have any issues with 1st, just second gear. Just another thing making me have buyers remorse
My 98 trans am with 92,ooo miles didnt have a single issue and I sold it to buy my FR-S that is having many issues. Im really considering getting into a 2013 Camaro instead.
