New gearbox oil = notchy 1st and 2nd

Had my car serviced the other day by an independent and they changed the gearbox oil.

Now i find that when the engine/gearbox is cold its very notchy when you shift from 1st -> 2nd or 2nd->1st and you can feel it almost clunk as it goes in.

It didnt happen before the new oil why should it happen now?
