I just don't get why my shifts from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th etc are so smooth without any rev matching or anything but 1st to 2nd is being so difficult.

that's because 1-2 ratio's are the farthest apart. :)

Hey guys..So I've looked around the forum and I wanted to ask what you all felt. I learned to drive stick on a 1978 Porsche 911sc targa and drove that for awhile. Now I have the 370z and love it. When I started driving it I was using the synchro rev and the shifts were silky smooth. Today I decided to turn off the synchro rev and was shocked to see how much I jerked from 1st to 2nd. But there was no jerk from 2nd to 3rd etc. So what I want to know is.. If I'm driving without the synchro rev on what should I do differently in order to get the car smooth from 1st to 2nd gear? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This gear box is, well, questionable at best. Why bother turning of the S. You need all the help you can get.

Huge mistake on this car. A perfectly weighted, pretty powerful, fantastic handling vehicle with a 1920 gear box. Hmmm ! This is my first car from the other side, of the other ocean.......so......well, they really need to look at the blueprints on this arrangement. :rolleyes:

Sorry, I have no advice...maybe start off in second.
