Default hard time shifting into first sometimes

hey, i recently purchased a 95 accord ex 5 speed and sometimes, worse on some days than others i have a difficult time shifting into first gear. i either put it in neutral or 3rd and it goes in, but i was wondering if anyone knew what it could be. i searched the internet and i seen its a problem with other cars but i can't really find any concrete answers. my buddy said its normal, and were just going to change the trans fluid but i wanted to make sure if anyone else had any other experiances before i started really looking into it.. thank you

Changing out the tranny fluid should be helpful

Just use Honda MTF and don't put any additive crap.
