    Another thing it could be.....I changed my gearbox oil a coupla months ago,and my T5 was filled with Auto trans fluid...put the specified manual gearbox oil in it,and it was hard to shift when cold and would graunch going into second,so I drained it,and put auto trans fluid back in it,and it shifts fine again now..
