NC owners,
Anyone experiencing intermittent gear-grind on 1st-to-2nd gear shifts?

2000 Blue... 2nd to 3rd
I have a 2006 MX-5 and recently had the manual transmission oil changed at 30,000 miles. After the oil change I noticed shifting was rough, especially shifting into 2nd gear. The oil that was used was GL-5, which is what the manual recommends.
I did some research on the internet and switched the oil to Redline MT-90 as recommended by some Miata owners. It helped some, but still not as smooth shifting as it originally was. I still don't understand why.
