Most people who grind 2nd from leaving 1st redlined just need to slow down their shift. I know it's tempting to speed shift but unless you're in a pissing contest that fraction of a second doesnt really matter. Revmatch your shifts like you should be, and you shouldnt be grinding any gears unless you have a synchro problem.

i dont think thats the problem, even if you are the worst at rev matching you should not hear the gears grind.
if you dont rev match well what will happen is you wont have a smoth shift meaning the car may jerk foward or slow down depending on the speed. rpms and gear

I probably average once per month, at least. 90% of the time it is 1st to 2nd.
Ever grind WOT from 1st to 2nd? It sounds HORRID and is very embarassing. Unfortunately I think I was having a bad driving day this past Saturday and did it twice. But before that, I can't even remember the last time I did. I had a perfect 1-2 today at WOT.
PS, a 2003 Z does not like 3rd to 6th shift.
+1 to that. I find myself doing that, hence my 1-2 mess ups this past weekend. You can still shift fast, but trying to go lightning speed from 1 to 2 is asking for it. I can shift quick from 2nd to 3rd, or higher. I have never missed any quick shifts besides 1-2.
