I would stop doing that. In the MT (which I own) under normal conditions, you physically CANNOT shift from 2nd into 1st.
Emphasize "normal conditions."
You could force it if you want to but you'd probably crack a synchro. 1st and 2nd are not synchro meshed in the MT versions of these cars.

The surge may be the sign that the transmission is failing. It could mean that the repeated stress on the transmission is causing a slip and as it gets worse you'll eventually lose 1st gear.
You say it's not broken yet, but the surge is proof that something is not working correctly! Therefore broken!

Can't deny that it probably sounds sweet though...
