If I understand correctly, there is a noise when you select 1st gear while the car is moving. Either it is moving too fast or the synchromesh has worn out. It is good practice anyway to have the car stationary when selecting first gear.

For 2nd to 3rd either it's the synchro or maybe the clutch is dragging?

If you don't want to spend money learn to double declutch.

Push the clutch pedal down to change out of gear, release the pedal, and push it down again to change to next gear.

My 300tdi has been crunching a bit into 2nd and 3rd for a while now. As I am too lazy to double declutch, I have learned to let the revs drop a little while the clutch is down before engaging the next gear. This stops a crunch

90% of the time.

If it really bothers you, I think i new or reconditioned gearbox is your best option.

Sometimes it helps to 'blip' the throttle (very short push), particularly when changing down. Just think "the Fast and the Furious" :)

Of course, most of the time you don't need the clutch at all. Just make sure the engine revs are right, and it'll slide into gear no problem. It's a matter of experience, but since they are crunching already, you won't notice the time taken to get it right :)
