1.Check your clutch pedal free play.
2.Check out engaging gear 3 from stationary.If it feels same as gear 1 could be low gear level.
3. How is change down from 2 to 1 while car in motion? if it is same as from stationary, you my have worn out gear 1 syncro. Drain a little gear oil in clear container look out for shiny copper/bronze fillings in oil. look out for other metalic particles on the drain plug magnet. If the gear oil looks dirty you may get away with just an oil change!!!!
4.Are you experiencing early signs of clutch slipping?
GOOD LUCK.
