And yes, it's a noisy SOB.

Mine catches going from 1st to 2nd when cold. I have to hold the clutch and wait a second before going into 2nd to avoid this. Once I drive a few miles it stops. I'm scared this will get worse.

when i fire her up on a cold night/day my 1st-2nd shifts are TERRIBLE. its been like this since day one. i wouldnt worry about it. once the tranny heats up it gets rather smooth. now if you hear a nasty grinding sound when you select a new gear with the clutch depresssed....its time for a new tranny

My first to second shift. I still hate the way it shifts. There is no way this is a sports car if it keeps up like that. Corollas are passing me because I have to shift so hard to get it into second quick otherwise I have to shift slowly so it goes in smoothly. Any ideas why this is happening? Is this normal? Is that what you guys mean by notchiness?
