my '13 grinds into 2nd quite often. i always warm my baby up for about 5 mins. and then drive a "slow" warm up lap of about a mile before hitting the road...my 1st couple of very slow-speed, easy shifting to 2nd usually results in me feeling the gear in the tranny...i axed my mech. about it and he drove it with about 1,000 miles and he said it was acceptable (same with slight clutch rattle in idle).
i put redline in the tranny at 5k and it feels a bit smoother...
btw, i always try and drive at least 6 miles before stopping the car, even if my beer store is only 1 1/2 miles away...methinks that helps prevent sludge build up...
