Patti,

It will all go smoother after doing some more miles.
Mine has around 30.000km now and it just shifts into gear
by only touching the shift lever. 

When the engine is cold it needs a little more attention.

BTW Most of the time I shift around 3000 a 3500 rpm till
6th gear and never have problems. So I'm used driving around
70km/h in 6th.

OK, I read everything everybody wrote.  Stiff boots are right out, and
I'm not even trying to upshift before 5-6K.  (Does anyone *really*
upshift at 3500?  Aiyah!)

On my short ride home from the office tonight, I tried to kick it into
second.  No dice.  Then I tried preloading the shift lever before I 
grabbed the clutch, and it went right up.  After the next light, I
tried it without preloading it, and it wouldn't go.  Then I tried it
without the clutch, and it shifted perfectly.

After the next light, I preloaded it before grabbing the clutch, and it
popped smoothly into second.  At the light after that, it wouldn't go
into second when I tried to shift normally.

Nine stoplights, two stopsigns, and one mile later, it still wouldn't
go into second unless I preloaded the shift lever first, but shifted
perfectly if I did.


Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
