shifting prob.when cold

[rdub]

it seems that the cooler its gotten out,the shifter is finding it hard to shift up to second and down to first,it seems to be happening a little more frequently ,somtimes im really fighting to get it in gear so ill roll to a stop and then itll go in fine when im gearing down. then off the line i go and its o.k. its the down shifting that seems to be the problem more so than the up shifting.

Is the clutch pedal travel ok? If there is nothing wrong with the clutch I would be tempted to change the tranny oil, maybe go to something synthetic that is a little thinner like 75-90 (I assume the manual tranny takes gear oil?)
