From what I've read on here it's not neccessarily normal but it's not abnormal either. Try taking your time with gear changes, double de clutching, and check that the gear lever springs are set up correctly.

Yea, not being a racing car and all it requires a carefull gear change, also, make sure you are not trying to change when going to fast, if you get the gear changes bang on, they will go into gear noticibily smoother, as the baulk rings are not having to work the same.
