Why can't I shift smoothly in this car?

He doesn't say he grinds, he describes a hesitation, jumpy engagement.
Sounds like the car is chugging when he says his foot starts pumping the gas which makes the chugging worse.
A loose throttle cable gives this chugging symptom (throttle plate opening and closing rapidly)

Simply patronizing the OP by saying he needs more practice shifting is hardly sage advise. You should read more fix it threads yourself...a loose throttle cable is not just a WOT issue on this car, it is a fix for the symptoms described here.
Also the OP should check the throttle cable path as it loops around the brake master cylinder and make sure it is anchored correctly...

Haha im not the only one on this thread saying he needs practice.. Read what others have written. HE HIMSELF is pumping the gas with HIS OWN FOOT. Again this has nothing to do with this throttle cable.... Saying someone needs practice is hardly patronizing. Not everything is a mechanical fix. Sometimes practice is the best method.
I appologise to the OP for the shinanigans going on here but I just dont see a loose throttle cable being the problem here.
