I feel the car loves driving between 2.5K-4K. Even when riding the clutch, when DD'ing approach 1st gear close to 3K and ease it in. Then keep your shifts where the next gear lands in that range. There's too little power at 2K. If youre being a little more spirited (not balls to the wall), try fast revving into the 5-6K band before sliding into the next gear, keeping it in the 4-6K band. Better acceleration there. That's where I find the most smoothness in shifting in the two driving styles. I feel the clutch and synchros happier there.
