Does anyone else have a lot of trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd??? It feels like the clutch does not release from all the trq when I try to shift. If I shift quicker than just normal driving under boost it will not go into gear. You have to lets say...boost...wait a second...then shift normal...then get back on it. All other gears shift normally under boost when on it hard. Just friggin 1st to 2nd is the prob. Any ideas?

oh great...i can see the writing on the wall...
I just took my 03 Z to the dealer b/c it grinds into second and third sometimes and at speed, it'll have trouble going into 5th and 6th sometimes. No grinding on the upper gears...just gets stuck...like i have to double clutch to get it to go in?! So i took it them...got the same exact story. If you shift slower it'll work fine. They even told me to double clutch the upper gears and it'll be fine. They said that the tranny is working just as it should. I told them i have been driving manuals for years, and NEVER had to do anything like this...but according to them...i'm the moron, and all stick shifts require double clutching in the upper gears occasionally? a load of crap imo.

haha...yeah, it's under warranty still...the car only has 19xxx miles on it!!! No way that this should be happening. The thing that sucks is I want to go FI, but don't wanna do that until i get them to replace this under warranty (if i can) b/c as everyone has said, they will screw me over if i go FI...
and by the way...this...
...is hilarious...reminds me of me and my ex...lol

You can get the syncros for $105 and $103 for both 1-2 & 3-4 shift forks. The shift forks are to repair/resolve the shifter popping or trying to pop out of gear. Obviously a lot less than $1800 for the whole new transmission.
This will be the route I'll take when I get my new clutch installed, since the dealer won't warranty the problem with FI installed.

Update: Car went in last friday, i called them today for an update. The lady in Service said the parts are on order and they should be installing them next week.
Concerns: I put down on the envelope when i dropped it off to fix my Tranny and my Window Regulator
Hopes: I am hoping since i have an extended payed for warranty they just fix it and not give a fck
