2nd gear is pissing me off

You have to be patient getting into 2nd regardless of how far you press down the clutch. This transmission does not like fast shifting at low speeds. I learned that the hard way with the 350Z and ended up making it difficult to get in any gear. Drive fast, shift fast. Drive slow, shift slow.

I typically have a habit of shifting below 3k RPM on a normal commute. It's clunky at times, but I learn not to force it. I can press the clutch halfway and it shifts fine as long as I don't let go of the clutch as I am getting in gear (risk of scratching the gear). With a bit of patience I can shift pretty fast, not hard.

I'm at 20k miles with stock fluid, and the gear box is doing great.

Then again I've not dragged this car either O_o
