Question Tips and tricks on driving the car

Hey guys,

I just got my new Asphalt FR-S last friday and I'm really happy with the purchase. It's an amazing car and it's already turning a lot of heads.

Now, here's my problem: This is my first manual car. I know some of you would say that learning on a brand new car is not ideal, but this is the situation I am in. I took a few classes before, but never had a full-time manual car. Please bear with me and refrain from hitting me on the head for that.

I'm already getting the hang of it, but there's a problem I can't seem to figure out.

When shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, I can't seem to make it smooth. It's constantly jerking forward. I tried multiple ways to release the clutch and it seems like I can't get it smooth. 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th are all fine. Any tips on the way to shift properly so it doesn't do that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
