You'll love it.

It's a bit stiff and clunky at first, but comes into it's own quick enough. High RPM shifts are butter.

Are you saying that it was hard to shift 1st and 2nd first because I have the same problem only sometimes though and if that's what you're talking about will the ssk solve the problem?
