It there something wrong with my transmission?
Thanks in advance!

I haven't noticed my speeds when down shifting, but then again, it is very rare that I would change from 3rd to 2nd, 4th or 5th to 2nd yes and I have not noticed any problems at all. My Cee'd now has just under 17000 miles on it so I would expect that the 'box is well bedded in by now.
With my style of driving 'brakes to slow, gears to go..' there is really no need to change from 3rd to 2nd. I also find that I don't use 4th gear much 'going up' the box. 3rd then 5th and you don't notice any difference at all.
