What I have experienced (and many others have complained about) is an inability to shift into first at a stop or even from second to third after depressing the clutch fully and timing things perfectly. It seems that sometimes the synchro teeth exactly clash and the only thing to do is shift back into neutral and let the clutch up again, if in first let the car roll a tiny distance by releasing the brake.
Sometimes you get a get a clean shift, but you feel a palpable clunk as the synchro teeth just manage to mesh. It has gotten better with mileage, now 22K on my 2001 SE. Other manuals I have owned have done this occasionally, but not to this extent.
If your complaint is that after stepping on the clutch and waiting a considerable period you can't shift into reverse without a grind, then there is a real problem and the clutch is probably sticking due to burrs on the splines or some other defect. This should be fixed by the dealer as it will prematurely wear the synchros on the forward gears.
