Work around for cold 1-2 shift crunch
Most people are familiar with double clutching a down shift and blipping the throttle while in neutral to bring the engine and input shaft of the transmission up to speed before engaging the next lower gear for a smoother down shift.
If I double clutch on the up shift between 1st and 2nd gears, without blipping the throttle in neutral, I am slowing the input shaft speed of the transmission before engaging 2nd gear and I do not get the cold morning 1-2 crunch. Although this slows my shifting speed, when the car is cold I am am typically driving on residential streets, so the speed of my shifting is not critical. Anyone else have similar experience?

I have the cold 1-2 crunch as well. I just pause a little longer going from 1 to 2. So its clutch in, move towards neutral, 2nd gear, clutch out. I found that giving a pause helps out a lot.

it works on large trucks without synchros, so it should work fine on your car.
