shifting slowly and speed shifting 2nd to 3rd is my best.... i honestly put it into 3rd as fast as my body could possible move.... 1-2 is a bitch though...

You didn't give the option 6th to 3rd when getting ready to overtake

1-2 good

2-3 good

3-4 silk...

Granted - I'm just breaking it in so we're talking 5500 rpm max so far. If things change @ 9000 I'll repost.

My 1-2 shift is quick and precise.... as long as I shift just before rev limiter. If I shift too early in the rpm band, my car grinds 2nd gear. (happens when I get ancy in a race and shift too early)

i think 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th would be my best points of shifting. i hate 1st to 2nd.

1-2 normal, is slightly difficult when cold but not anymore
2-3 notchy 50% of the time
3-4 silk
4-5 smooth
5-6 takes some effort but normal

On downshifts, they are all silky, weird
