Try paying attention to the alignment of the shifter when you go from 1st to 2nd. I have a tendency to pull it toward me a bit when shifting and that causes a very slight crunch. I can get cleaner shifts if I try to pull the lever slightly to the right when going from 1st to 2nd... which just corrects the alignment to more of a straight up and down motion. Its worth a try. Also, seems to work smoother if I shift from 1st at higher rpms than I am used to driving. Seems like the 6sp shifter is sensitive to technique but mine seems to work fine if I pay attention to what it wants.
