second gear has a lot of torque , you might be able to reproduce it in 1st too if you try a bit harder .
OD comes on on nice and smoothly (I always dip the clutch when engaging OD in 4th gear above 45 mph ish).

Changed the gearbox oil about 18 months ago for Castrol 20/50. Didn't do the OD filter though (as I din't know about it!) so I'll have a look at this at some point.
