This IS the best shifting gearbox in the world 
Because the shifter is perfectly (IOW, not with cables or any other sloppy stuff) mechanically linked to the shift forks you feel a lot of mechanical things happening inside the gearbox =>
That mechanical feeling is often being described as notchy.
Sounds normal to me 
While shifting at low revs I usually shift slow and take a split second pause in the "neutral" position and then gently push it in gear.
Sorry for the missing details.
I thought this is the best gearbox in the world; I guess this is normal for any gearbox to do that after 7500 miles??

It is upshift to 2nd and/or third, so no revmatching. Usually during traffic driving (i.e. low revs). It doesn't matter if it's cold start or not. It's not a full-on grind, but I can hear it grind for 1 second.
