As temps have been dropping below 40, I've noticed 2nd gear can be difficult in the first 2 minutes of driving. Double-clutching into 2nd until the transmission warms up (upshifts and downshifts) helps tremendously. If you're still having trouble with 2nd, try that for the first couple of minutes.
On a more general note, this transmission has gotten pretty smooth for me over the past 1000 miles. It's a nice piece. A bit notchier than the best Honda units (S2000, RSX-S, etc.), but very precise and nice short throws. Really starting to enjoy shifting with this car.

Fixed.
