I do notice from 3ish it's a bit funky. under 3 or over 4 seems to work well for me. I used to go to 5.5 and it was hellasmooth for mebut it's not something you want to do on a colder engine.

here's the weird part... My shifts n-1, 1-2 are smooth but now my 2-3 are jerky. 3-4 , 4-5, 5-6 are smooth too. amateur hour
haha, my gf experiences the same thing in my car when she tries to drive it...

try pushing the shifter out of 2nd immediately before you press the clutch (i promise this is very easy and safe on the engine, just don't have your foot on the gas) and then as you're depressing the clutch the last bit slide it into 3rd, add gas, then take about a half second to let off the clutch...


it's weird how every manual trans has some sort of finicky nature between each gear compared to one another...
