I'm going to try that. A lot of people have said that I am shifting too slowly. I pulled a couple of flawless shifts last night and today by shifting quickly without much hesitation in releasing the clutch. That 1st to 2nd is what gets me still though.

I really appreciate everyone's help. I've been on a lot of auto enthusiast boards prior and this board seems to be, by far, the most helpful.
