hey guys, i seem to have trouble shifting smoothly from 1st to 2nd gear as well. all other gears are fine. there is no grinding, but seems to be very jerky. i've tried everything, holding the clutch in longer, shorter, etc. any advice?

Try steping on the gas a little sooner, the engine revs to slow. I haven't put one in yet but I'm positive that a light flywheel will help here. Anyone who has a light wheel notice an improvment in their shifts here?

So i'm having the grind from 3rd to 2nd as well.... If i double clutch then it still grinds every other time.... If i show this to the dealer will they replace my whole tranny? or just the 3rd to 2nd synchros??? Another question... i still have factory warranty but will they try charging me?
