When I started driving it I was using the synchro rev and the shifts were silky smooth. Today I decided to turn off the synchro rev and was shocked to see how much I jerked from 1st to 2nd. But there was no jerk from 2nd to 3rd etc. So what I want to know is.. If I'm driving without the synchro rev on what should I do differently in order to get the car smooth from 1st to 2nd gear? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
This gear box is, well, questionable at best. Why bother turning of the S. You need all the help you can get.

Huge mistake on this car. A perfectly weighted, pretty powerful, fantastic handling vehicle with a 1920 gear box. Hmmm ! This is my first car from the other side, of the other ocean.......so......well, they really need to look at the blueprints on this arrangement.

Sorry, I have no advice...maybe start off in second.
