Try this. A splitsecond before you are going to shift from 1st tto 2nd, pull back on the shift lever, not hard, just apply some gentle pressure. Then, when you put the clutch in, you should feel the lever release and then go into second without having to apply any additional pressure to the lever. If it shifts smoothly doing this, then its just your shift technique, not the synchro.
