i think this is the problem: you are used to waiting for hte flywheel to fall in between gears. It usually takes the same amount of time between any two gears. When you're skipping gears, you have to give it more time for the flywheel to slow down to where it needs to be for a gear thats 2 gears higher than the one youre in.

IE, shift at 7k out of first into 2nd and dump the clutch you'll get a little chirp. Shift at 7k from 1st to 3rd and dump the clutch your RPMS are way to high for how fast you're going in 3rd gear -> gear grind. same thing at the higher gears.
