To get a smoother shift like you do from 4 to 5; simply just shift later in the rpm. Try reving 1st gear to around 4 k then go to 2 just liked ua usually do. Report back how it went.

I never used that. I think I tried it for like 5 turns then turned it off. I have a tendency to check if I'm out of gear by wiggling the stick left and right. It would blip thinking I was downshifting. I don't like that. Anyhoo, I think that thing only turns on when you go form 2 to 1, not 1 to 2 which is OP's problem.

This used to bother me, too. When my wife used to DD the Z, I never used SRM when I drove it. But as my DD, I leave SRM on most of the time. I generally turn it off when I go cruise around the hill country. I have trained myself not to wiggle the stick any more. It's not needed, especially since the instrument panel tells me what gear I'm in

I do occasionally. Very infrequently I find myself pulling up to a stop light in third gear and don't switch over to first immediately. Usually when I want to change the song on my phone or do something quick like that while I'm stopped at the light. A quick glance tells me that I need to switch gears.

I had the hardest time switching from my 5 speed accord to my Z. I agree, 1st and 2nd is weird. Especially 1st. Saw a few comments where shifting around 3500-4000 rpm's make a big difference. When I first got my Z, I used to give my passengers whiplash. lol
