Shifting: 2nd & 3rd

Hey guys~
it's been back of my mind for a few days now, so here I go.
Anyone ever notice that when shifting (especially) to 2nd gear that it doesn't just slide in but kinda "sticks" ?.. meaning the shift isn't too smooth.
Shifting to 3rd is not as bad but you could sometimes feel the similar feel
4th, 5th and 6th doesn't seen to have any problems.
Anyone have any thoughts??

Mine is very smooth and almost like butter. Granted, when cold you will encounter a little more "notchiness", but that's to be expected. Make sure you are completely disengaging the clutch between shifts. These manual TLs have a relatively short clutch pedal travel and therefore, even shorted takeup. Also, it seems to be fairly common that a lot of them begin their engagement almost right off the floor (mine's like this).

I agree. Mine is very smooth almost all the time...when it's cold, it can be a bit rough, but not much.
