It feels like somekind of mechanism is blocking it, if i put extra force into it , i can do it, but why?

No that is not normal you need to take it back to the dealer mine did that since new and untill I made them go over it they did not do anything. I then showed where the car if you rev match is supposed to shift into first gear at 15mph and below. They ended up having to do almost $2600 of work under warrenty on the transmission.
