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.
