Default shifting

Probably. Mine grinds going into 2nd when it's cold regardless of engine speed. Even when the car is fully warmed, I'd still grind going into 2nd shifting at higher rpms.

I found that if I just clutch in and shift between first and second a few times while stopped, the problem goes.

Also make sure that your clutch is fully disengaging. Slave/master cylinders could be the issue too.
