firstly its cold out there so gearbox oil will be more viscous in this weather
more importantly
150's tend to have more gearbox oil than they need
i reduced mine from 3.4l to 2.4l over year ago
been better ever since and its also a VX field remedy from TIS
otherwise check alignment of gear selector from HOW 2 list F40 Box
i took mine to vauxhall to check also with this problem very hard to select 1st at lights or junctions also resistance changing to 2nd, dealers said been out on road test and all is fine no prob, plus they said its spose to be like that? well if all is fine and spose to be like that then they must have found the same thing?? i dont trust em, last vec 150ps i had the gears went in smoothly?????
