Crunchy Gearbox

Guys
Just need to confirm something...
Ive had my evo 5 for around 3 weeks now, and the gearbox is a little "crunchy".. is this the case with all Evo's??
Or do these kind of cars have a smooth gear change?
Also it seems to be a little difficult to get into 2nd gear when the car is cold, but once its warmed up then it goes into gear like as you would expect......
Is there anything I can do to sort this out..... ?
thanks

They do have a habit of being a little notchy when cold mate,especially 2nd

dependant on how well its been serviced they can benefit from a change to 75w90 synth oil.....................

all my previous evos have been notchy when cold mate the gearchange usually improved when the oil warmed up as alan says it may benefit from an oil change
