Our manual transmission is notoriously difficult. When shifting 1st into second, the best method I found for smooth transitions was to "slip" the clutch, but I'm hard pressed to think of how to describe that in text format.

Push pedal in, change gear, release pedal gradually (swift motion but not so much that the car jerks) and as it bites, apply light acceleration to prevent an abrupt drop in rpms and rough engagement/jerking.

OR, as previously mentioned, buy the RJM which is fully adjustable and way more forgiving. I'd highly recommend that as your first mod. I just installed the v3.1 pedal in my car a few weeks ago and deeply regret that I did not do it sooner!
