I have the same clutch/csc and the same issues, 1st gear can sometimes be extremely difficult to get into, other times its like stock. Do you happen to know what transmission oil you are using?

I have also noticed that trying to shift too fast makes the gear grind, it's not that I am shifting improperly but sometimes I have to almost granny shift it.

our synchros kind of suck, I usually pause from 1st to 2nd as well. Trying to shift as fast as id like usually results in a loud grind and me looking like I can't drive.

Do your problems happen while Sync Rev is on or off, or both?

Mostly when it is on but it still happens sometimes while its off. I've noticed that shifting a little lower than redline helps make it a little easier. Around 7k. But this whine noise is always there and always has been. I just haven't bothered taking it to the dealer for it because other people have and Nissan just says its "normal." I've decided not to waste my time with them. After I got my exhaust I tried to forget about it, as my exhaust is louder under acceleration. I thought maybe a lighter flywheel would help the problem, but RCZ had one and obviously it didn't help. I'm just sick and tired of the way the clutch/gearbox/tranny feels on these cars. It's made me think about a new STI a lot.
