The shift from 1st to 2nd can be clunky at times. I've found that if you adjust your shifting speed to your RPMs, it becomes smoother. If you are pulling modest -- lower than 3k -- RPMs when shifting from first to second, then move the shifter in a slow and deliberate fashion into the 2nd gear position. When getting on it, shift faster and you'll feel that satisfying click.

Shifting fast when going slow is usually where the jerkiness appears .. Typically 2nd to 3rd and higher is not as finicky
