And as for the break-in period, mine was a little stiff when I first got it, but never to the point that I had any need to double clutch to make it work. I can't help but think people are needlessly making this a lot more complicated than it needs to be. If you actually have to double clutch to get the car into a certain gear, that's probably the car's way of telling you that it shouldn't be in that gear.

Even under 3 MPH it refuses to slip into first. I have to nudge, let go, nudge again, ... and eventually it drops in. Never had a car so finicky before this one.
