Hi,
Newbie here

I have 1,700 miles on my car so far and I've always noticed that going from
1st to 2nd gear is not a smooth transition as the other gears, specially on low rpms.
Is this normal? I know the transmission is noisy but this just feels notchy and maybe even a little grinding.
I've driven nothing but Manuals for 12 years so I'm not a clutch newbie.
thanks in advance.
