When your engine is cold, do you encounter trouble with selecting 1st and 2nd?
I seem to remember my mate in his Mk3 Astra 1.4 8v Si having very simular troubles.
F13 box.
Check it

didnt have an SRi, but did have the same F13 box...
was a complete bziatch to get in 1st & 2nd when cold (really cold), but once warmed up was a bit better
changing the gearbox oil didnt really do a thing other than make it a bit quieter
