370z manual grind?

it's easy to grind from 3rd to 2nd or 2nd to 1st downshifting if you do it hastily. I don't force the shifter in, instead i kinda gently push it

it's easy to grind from 3rd to 2nd or 2nd to 1st downshifting if you do it hastily. I don't force the shifter in, instead i kinda gently push it to see if i feel any notchiness,shifter will give me a slight mechanical "gear knuckling" feel and i know right away that i'm second away from grinding, so ease off and wait til synchros work then shift it in (all simultaneously)
also i found that rev myself, or revving a little bit more than necessary will prevent gear grinding when downshifting
