Anyway, I didn't bother reading the whole thread but I wanted to put in my experience with the missed 1-2 shift. Here is what I noticed happening when I missed it: The gear selector was actually hitting the notch for Reverse and hanging up the shift! I must have put a quite a bit of leftward pressure on the stick when I was shifting, partially opening the gate to Reverse and allowing the stick to hang up and prevent engagement of second gear.

I tested this theory a few more times, and it does create a missed shift opportunity. It tends to happen when trying to shift fast, as you apply more force to the stick. So now I pay more attention to not putting any side forces on the stick and I haven't missed a 1-2 shift yet.
