It's such a auto pilot habit now that whenever I see these threads and I think about slowing it down, shifting into second gets crunchy and doesn't always want to go into gear. I would generalize all of my shift issues down to this. Whenever I have shift issues it's because I was lazy with shift timing, or throttle.



The only other occasions where there are issues is when it's -25, -30c and the cars been sitting out all day. Now if that happens I just let it warm up for a few minutes and shift the car a few times before I set off.

I blame Hollywood for much of the poor shifting people use since they need to make it exciting not realistic.
