If you're shifting fast and deliberately even after waiting for a moment in neutral you are not giving them time to get their work done, at best the primary of your transmission is slowed down by mechanical friction and the viscosity of the oil making for an easier shift, but that is also the purpose of double clutching, to force that processes hand a little bit. That's been the best for me to make it behave. And we all definitely know not to waste our time getting into gear, because that's how you surely get any transmission to grind.

I can try shifting a little slower. I've had mixed results with that. I'm not exactly shifting like speed racer though.

I have noticed some of the same things you did though, it's 1. /significantly/ happier warm and 2. seems to like being shifted briskly and with a lively force. It still bangs a little bit going in but its much less severe. I still fear premature wear.

You are double clutching on up shifts?
