  I guess I just skip to keep the wear off the clutch rather than running through gears 3-5. With SRM on, I just hover over the 6th gear gate until the RPMs drop before I engage the gear - I think this is less wear on the clutch system than running through the gears quickly. Most people probably do this so infrequently that it doesn't really matter which method they use

I've had my 2014 for exactly a week now and i read what the manual said just out of curiosity, haha. For the sake of the clutch, if you don't use gas getting into first you'll save a lot of miles on the thing, and it helps nourish clutch working skill because going up an incline with just clutch and no gas in traffic is a toughie!
