Thats cool for you two guys who had previous bike experience. I always thought that driving the M3 manual is different from most manual transmissions and is more like driving a wound up superbike. In bikes you guys can drive with the RPMs wound up and it's all good! And of course props for the mental aspects of shifting, throttle and braking with both hands and feet, while on the lookout for road conditions and clueless drivers.
Helicopter pilots can chime in too, props to you guys.

I've been driving a manual transmission for the better part of 20 years. Every vehicle I've ever owned, save a beater car and my Vehicross have been manual, and I'm in the process of converting my Vehicross to a 5MT. So, feel free to LOL all you'd like. Hill assist is a nice thing to show my friends, but not something I utilize. |

My 6MT was really notchy going into 1st also. It would clunk into 1st if I was rolling slowly. The 1-2 shift almost felt like it was going to grind. My car has 59K miles. When I changed the brake fluid, I decided to change the clutch fluid too. This made the problem about 80% better.
As far as the shuddering when cold, I had this problem after I slipped the clutch a lot at the track because of inattentive shifting. It would shudder when taking off from a stop only when cold. After a few weeks, the clutch was back to normal. Just clutch material transfer onto the flywheel I think. You may have this issue because you are a new MT driver and slip the clutch a lot.

Can I ask why you feel the need to put it in first or second before coming to a red light? |
