Gear grinding

The whole skip a gear or double clutching is madness. Trans should be smooth.

mine works fine, just need to yank that stick. I do often go 2nd to 4th, skipping 3rd.

There is already a thread about this. Search it up - Manual trans owners--both 4 and 5
Also, when cold, just double clutch it. That seems to work best.

Yes -- double-clutch until it warms up is the remedy for this. This is what I have to do when it gets colder outside or the car has been sitting awhile during the warmer months.

OP, at what speed are you typically shifting from 1st to 2nd? I find the shift from 1st to 2nd much smoother higher in the rev range say around 25 mph. Shift at less than 20 mph and I have to give it a little more force, especially when cold.

Yea under 20 mph when crawling between lights ...

3.5K to 4K rpm is a good range to shift for normal driving. I don’t like to get below 2K.
