a tip for those who are new to manual, don't think of 3rd as slightly over and forward. because the springs will pull the stick to neutral, 3rd is always just straight forward. going from 2nd, push forward without any side motion, the stick will fall into neutral from 2nd and your hand will push it directly into 3rd.

same with 4th, but backwards and this works for upshifting and down shifting. now your body doesnt have to think if its all the way over for 1st or just a little bit over for 3rd, you just think 1st is left-up, 2nd is left-down, 3rd is straight forward, 4th is straight back, 5th is right up, and 6th right down.
