Grinding on manual transmission from 1st to 2nd

I've got the manual version of 7, with 1.800km on it.
From day 1 shifting from 1st to 2nd gear feels ackward. If I shift slowly, the stick feels like having a hick-cup half way through (at neutral possition).
If I shift a bit fast, a sense of grinding on the stick. This happens at ~3.500 and less RPMs.

Initially thought it was because it was new and straighten out, but now I wonder. Any ideas?

Thanx.
