Some gears are harder to get in to

Alright here is the deal..

When I'm in 1st and I shift into 2nd, it feels very rough.

All of my other gears (except 3rd and 4th sometimes, but it's rare) are a lot easier and just slide right in.

What could be the problem?

It's hard to explain without actually driving it and feeling what I'm talking about, and I'm going to take it in.. but I just figured I would post here and see what you guys say.

My car was hard to shift when it was new. But it got a lot better after the first couple thousand miles. I had a similar concern and my buddies told me it was a new gearbox thing. I am at 48,000 now and everything is great.
