So I was having the famous "1-2 rough shift" issue. Of course I just figured it's because I'm a manual noob (see other thread) but there was something that someone on here said that struck me as interesting. Basically he/she said when you're shifting from 1 to 2 the SRM will hold your revs for about a second when you put the clutch in so you should wait a couple seconds for the revs to drop and then shift. I've been following this advice and my 1-2 shifts are buttery smooth EVERY single time. So whoever was saying that, it did the trick and just wanted to say thanks!!! My girlfriend also says thanks, haha.
