My 1st gear is fussy when I come to a light, but only before everything is warmed up (still cold). After a couple of miles it's fine. I plan on switching over to the Amsoil MTF fluid soon. That should help.

My Si doesn't do it by my 94 del sol does and when I need to put it in first I just push the clutch in twice and it slips right in. So try doing that, it works for my friend's cars to but I would go to the dealer and have them check it out. Maybe they can replace the syncrose or tell you if something is wrong. But i would try double clutching first.

same thing on my lx 5speed coupe. i usually just take the clutch out and put it back and and it will slip in a little smoother. im gonna take it to the dealer on thursday.

try this as well.. since 1st and 2nd are in the same line.. go to second first.. and then slip it into first..it is the way it is layed out.. try downshifting as well it helps.. look at the graphic here on this site.. gives you good info on tranny's (not that kind..lol) works for me! but when in doubt take it to the dealer...
