Note I am not having a problem shifting 2->1. With appropriate rev matching and especially with a quick double clutch to raise the input shaft speed, 2nd to 1st downshifts are not a problem. My issue is shifting 1st to 2nd, especially when cold. I probably should have put in my first post that I've been driving MT cars for 20+ years. Also, have never had a clutch or transmission issue in that time.
