Yeah, the quicker you want to shift, the more critical proper timing is. I rarely shift aggressively to avoid grinding gears, especially the notchy 1-2; not worth the marginal benefit to me. It's understandable to botch a gear change while doing that, but not while just cruising .

Hey, nobody with mechanical knowledge of these trannies to know what goes on inside when grinding???
