I was going to suggest the very same....should allow the revs from the motor to better synch with the tranny when going into that second gear...in other words, when you engage the clutch in neutral and give the engine a slight rev, it gets the tranny spinning...then try second gear.....
these cars should not grind gears. this is not normal. If the car has experienced "spirited shifting"...especially "banging" second...there are parts of the transmission that control the shifts that can get bent....if this happens....your gears will not engage fully.
With enough grinding....and it wont take much, you will damage the gear.
Not sure if cold hydraulic fluid could cause this...or slightly low hydraulic fluid....but I would get it checked out.
