Pretty much, the helper spring helps with the 1st - 2nd.

Clutch pedal too soft/no feel? Remove the helper spring!

^This, the spread between 1st and 2nd gear makes it a bit of an annoyance since you just have to take your time to get a smooth shift. 3-6th are much nicer to work with since the gearing is more closely spaced. The shifts are a little notchy too but not excessively so, I personally will replace my trans fluid with some Redline soon since some have reported smoother shifting with it.

^This...let us know how the Redline MT transmission oil is! I was thinking about this too!
