Default Synchros in trouble?

I have a C-7 2014- 7-Speed Sting Ray:
Upon shifting from 1st to 2nd /I feel 2nd gear teeth on a little aggressive shift/on going very slow speed, it goes in fairly smooth.
Any solution ?

Syncros?

Too many 'bad' shifts.

If it gets better after the transmission fluid warms up a little it's normal.

unfortunately the cold 1 to 2 shift on the C7 M7 tranny is poor. That shift cannot be rushed. I have not been happy with my 2019 Z06 M7 since Day 1 and now it is up to 30k miles. This issue has been reported many times so it is common.

Sounds like nothing unusual about the hard shift you are experiencing.
