Need some help with shifting.

It takes a little getting use to this transmission, but You'll get the hang of it. The tricky part is 1st gear and the 1st to 2nd shift. First gear

It takes a little getting use to this transmission, but You'll get the hang of it. The tricky part is 1st gear and the 1st to 2nd shift. First gear from a stop is easy to master once you get a feel for the engagement point. It just takes practice. You have to engage the clutch slowly/smoothly. It almost "feels" like you're burning the clutch...then let go all the way once it catches. (all this should happen in less than a second)

The 1st to 2nd shift is all about shifting at the right rpm. It's gonna "buck" if you shift at a low rpm quickly. If thats how you drive, you have to engage the clutch slower/smoother.
