Default Shifting 1st to 2nd

Can someone shed some light on a minor snafu I am having. I have driven MT's for many years...actually learned at age 14 in my grandfather's old Mercury.
For some reason, I am having occasional issues achieving smooth shifts between 1st and 2nd gears. Every other shift is silky smooth. 1st to 2nd is "lurchy"...
I notice that if I clutch in and out verrrrry slowly and throttle up slowly I can smooth it out a bunch, but it really wears me out. Is it me, or does anyone else experience a finicky 1st to 2nd shift? I love my new 370 Z. I really believe that this is just a normal issue with the 370Z maybe? I never grind any gears...I just fight the "lurch" from 1st to 2nd.
