Look, you're right that double clutching would "fix" the notchy shift. But IMO, that's not the best advice for a someone who said this is their first manual car. We're dealing with an inexperienced manual driver. He might not even know what double clutching is, or how to do it properly for all we know. Plus, this is a modern, synchronized transmission. Double clutching is unnecessary in almost every situation. So, I think spouting off about double clutching to solve a nonexistent 5th gear synchro "glitch" rather than just telling him to shift properly is isn't the best advice for this particular situation.

Umm... Reduction to absurdity: If working off a premise leads to ridiculous conclusion, the premise is suspect. As for advise, I absolutely do not provide them anywhere. Just pointing out to the people how strange the situation is and let them see for themselves, or not

Something like this perhaps?
