Car: 1993 Honda Civic DX... 5 speed S20 DX trans... aluminum shift forks

I usually don't shift to first in autocrosses, matter of fact I hate doing so; but the acute angle this one turn had necessitated the deed. I got it into gear (no buzz or grind) as I matched revs but there was still greater effort to do so as opposed to downshifting from 3-2 per se.

The gear change from 1-2 and from N-1 seems a little notchier now. Could I have tweaked the fork? Or should I just change the fluid and be on my way?

Thanks in advance

 

as someone who has just had to deal with this, u may have tweeked the forks a little bit. if it doesnt grind going into gear, it goes into all gears ok, doesn't get stuck in any gear, you shoud be ok. u can change the fluid if u like, but it shouldn't make much differance, unless u havent changed it in a while.
