audis seem to be known for a tough 1st and 2nd....i havent heard about reverse though
my 2nd gear is fine, but 1st is also a little bit of a bitch...
i would tend to say your car is just fine, since so many others complained about $hitty 1st and 2nd gears before....

Try pushing down on the stick as you put it in to gear.
