Popping out of 1st

This happens on about 1/3 of my 1-2 shifts. It doesn't seem to matter what RPM the engine is at. I'll be in 1st gear, and if I apply the slightest pressure to the shifter it pops out of 1st. I could practically use a stick of gum to shift from 1st to neutral. The other 2/3 of the time, it feels like any other shift...normal amount of force needed. Anyone else notice this?

mine does it too, not as often, but it seems to just randomly happen sometimes. it does happen more often higher in the rpm's but it can happen at any rpm.

Mine does that alsobut it seems that if I take my foot off the clutch and roll a few feet i just pops out of 1or2 to N. Not to sure if this a big problem. I can't take it to the dealer because I'm overseas (Spain)... Oh well. Plz let me know if you find out what causes this.
