2017 JMC Vigus having difficulties going into second gear
You could be dealing with a gear-selector mechanism that is not adjusted properly. Or, you might be looking at worn synchromesh rings or some other wear inside the gearbox. The first problem is an easy one to fix, the second requires surgery on the innards of the transmission itself. Also, even though you’ve replaced the clutch, is it adjusted correctly?
The problem shows up when the transmission is cold because that’s when the oil inside it is thickest. As the transmission warms up the oil flows a bit more easily and lubricates better, making everything slip together with less effort. A lot of people simply learn to live with a stubborn gearshift first thing in the morning, but if the cause of this is worn components, they aren’t going to fix themselves and will get gradually worse.

The mechanic is saying I need a new belt for my 2015 JMC Vigus...
The JMC brand is a pretty obscure one here in Australia. It launched in 2015 and was gone almost without trace by 2017 thanks to a model line-up that lacked an automatic transmission option and the resulting glacial sales rate.
In fact, a lot of Australians never even had the brand cross their radar screens, so finding out anything about the JMC ute can be tricky. But the diesel engine was actually a Ford design built under license (Ford owns a big chunk of the Chinese brand) and is actually Ford’s JX4D24 design. As such, it has a timing chain, rather than a toothed rubber timing belt. That means it should not need a chain replacement as these are designed to last the life of the engine.
Your mechanic is probably referring to the petrol-engined version of the JMC Vigus which used a Mitsubishi designed four-cylinder engine which did, as a member of the G469 family of engines, have a timing belt which would require periodic replacement.
