Hard time getting into first~

Hard time getting into first~
The weather here is starting to get colder... so i'm not sure if that's the reason.. but I'm having a hard time getting into first gear for about 10 minutes after I start my car...
Just wondering if this could be a sign that I might need new transmission oil or anything like that....
anyone else having this problem? I'm originally from California.. so i've never been in cold weather like this before :S
Edit:
I've now encountered another little weird problem...
It now seems like when I get out of 2nd or third.. it feels like i'm pulling the gear out without pressing the clutch.... this happens randomly... just like the difficulty with getting into gear... now it feels like its hard to get out of gear.... it slides out... but feels like i'm doing it without pressing the clutch...

It sounds normal.
Try shifting into 2nd and then into 1st (with clutch in )
When was the last time the transmission oil was changed?

Currently the car has about 47,000 Kilometers on the clock... (about 30,000miles).. its a 2001 model...

I'd go ahead and change it out. It may not help but it definitely won't hurt.
